The government Wednesday contradicted Bharatiya Janata Party chief Amit Shah's allegation that money from Saradha chit fund was used in the October 2 blast in West Bengal's Burdwan saying the probe has so far not revealed any connection.
Jitendra Singh, minister of state in the prime minister's office, in a written reply in Rajya Sabha said there was "no link". The minister also clarified there was no evidence yet that money from the scam was sent to Bangladesh.
"The investigation has so far not revealed any such transaction where money was routed to Bangladesh to fund terrorist activities," Singh told the House.
Shah, while speaking in Kolkata on Sunday, had alleged that Mamata Banerjee's government and her party, Trinamool Congress, were shielding the accused in the Saradha scam.
