Bajrang Dal not involved in Orissa's communal violence

Indore, Oct 4 (UNI) Bajrang Dal's National Convenor Prakash Sharma today ruled out the involvement of his orgnisation in the recent violence in Orissa.

''The violence in Orissa is not a good sign for the country and the Dal has no link in those incidents'', Mr Sharma told reporters here.
