The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh on Thursday said it had no "official link" with Anna Hazare's anti-corruption movement and nobody had sought its support for the campaign.

"Nobody officially sought RSS support for the anti-corruption movement and we also did not extend any help to anyone officially," RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat told the media on the sidelines of a function on the death centenary of Sister Nivedita at the Mahajati Sadan here.

Bhagwat, however, said his organisation had no objection to RSS members joining the movement in their individual capacity. "No swayamsevak has been barred from joining the anti-corruption movement."

Asked to comment on Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's allegation of 'double standards' in Anna's movement and that there was a RSS link, Bhagwat said "many people see the ghost of the RSS in everything."
