If it is true then punishment should be given irrespective of religion one can not compromise with country's security. How about the bombs found at the Kerala temple managed by RSS covered with buckets? And day before yesterday another news given that Kerala Police caught huge explossives from RSS office all these are very serious issues with no action from the BJP Govt for investigation by NIA.

Very Funny Weapons and explosives found at RSs place and NIA busy framing behind Muslim Organisation

What about BJP and sangh parivar people who take trainings with bombs???
