The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh expressed shock at serial blasts near the venue of BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's rally in Patna shortly before he was to address the gathering today.
Five persons were killed and 66 injured in six blasts.
In a statement, RSS National Executive meeting, which concluded here today said, "We see it as a blatant attempt to terrorise and scare nationalist forces".
The meeting condemned the "heinous" attempt and expressed confidence that the spirit and resolve of nationalist forces will remain undented despite such cowardly terrorising acts.
The blasts justify the executive's resolution, indicating its grave concern over the growing 'Jehadi' activities in the country, the statement said.
