"I have had no faith in any violent activity. I condemn this false propaganda. This is a deep political conspiracy based on untruth through which nationalists and patriots are being maligned," Kumar said in a statement.

He alleged that reports in some newspapers and news channels to link his name and that of the RSS to some violent (terror) events is an attempt to create confusion.

"It is sad that these reports were sensationalised," he alleged.

Kumar insisted that RSS had been engaged in public education and public service for the past 85 years and he himself has been active in this field for four decades.

"I am deeply hurt by the dragging of my name and that of the Sangh in this false propaganda," Kumar said.

He argued that service to the nation was the basic aim of the Sangh.
