Guruji’s authorised letter sent alongwith the Sangh documents sent by Venkataram Shastri was returned to the sender with the reason, “You are not official mediator.” And now, Moulichandra Sharma sends a clarification given to him to the government, and that is accepted, though he has not been declared a mediator.

RSS Chief was freed from Baitul prison on the morning of July 13.
