New Delhi, July 15 (ANI): The BJP reacted sharply over Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi's comment linking senior journalist Ved Pratap Vaidik with the RSS. Leaders of the BJP clearly stated that Ved Pratap is an independent journalist and has no links with the RSS or BJP. They stated that Rahul Gandhi's allegations were absolutely baseless, useless and condemnable. Earlier today, Rahul Gandhi had called Vaidik an RSS man. The statement came amidst the issue of Vaidik's recent meeting with 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed in Lahore. Vaidik has openly accepted the meet with Hafiz Sayeed, who is a declared terrorist, and has also said that he is ready to share all the information concerning his meetings in Pakistan.
