Panaji: Right wing outfit Sanatan Sanstha, which is again in focus after a man allegedly having links with it was arrested in connection with the murder of rationalist Govind Pansare, has claimed that it was being wrongly targeted as it did not have any political backing.

"Time and again we are being targeted by the government because they find us as a soft target. We don't have political backing. Be it Congress or BJP, we have been speaking out against all governments when they are indulging in wrong things," Sanatan Sanstha's managing trustee Virendra Marathe said.
