"As long as investigations go on in a professional manner and they want cooperation, (RSS) functionaries are ready to extend cooperation," Sangh leader Ram Madhav told reporters.

But at the same time he said that if investigations into the blasts took a "political turn and if vendetta becomes the motive, the RSS will have to take stock of the situation."

Madav termed as "baseless" reports that certain senior RSS functionaries were involved in the incidents and were being interrogated.

"There were certain charges about individuals and the agencies wanted some cooperation from our functionaries. They have extended full cooperation to the agencies," he said.

The Sangh's response came following reports that two of its senior functionaries were interrogated by CBI for allegedly sheltering Mecca Masjid blast accused.
