NEW DELHI: Government appeared to speak in different voices with a minister telling Parliament that probe has so far not revealed that Saradha chit fund money was used to finance terror in Bangladesh, contradicting BJP Chief Amit Shah’s allegation of such a connection.

“The investigation has so far not revealed any such transaction where money was routed to Bangladesh to fund terrorist activities,” Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh told the Lok Sabha in a written response.

Addressing a rally in Kolkata on Sunday, Shah had alleged that Saradha chit fund money was used in the October 2 Burdwan blast, which is being probed for link with Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) terror outfit.

“Saradha chit fund money was used in the Burdwan blast. The NIA is not being allowed to probe the blast properly. Hurdles are being created. It is being done in order to save Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders who are involved in the blast,” Shah had alleged, attacking the Trinamool Congress.
