Digvijay Singh: Rajnath Singh, L K Advani should apologise for link with Sadhvi Pragya

ANI

Posted: Jan 24, 2013 at 1440 hrs IST
Digvijay Singh had said there is fool-proof evidences in support of the allegation levelled by Home Minister against BJP and RSS.

New Delhi Congress and the UPA-led government today slammed BJP for its "unnecessary and unwarranted" agitation over Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde's remarks on 'Hindu terror', saying it was a "diversionary tactic" to keep away media attention from its internal affairs.

Rejecting BJP chief Rajnath Singh's demand for an apology by Shinde on the issue, AICC general secretary Digvijay Singh asked the BJP President, its senior leader Lal Krishna Advani and Uma Bharti to apologise for speaking in favour Pragya Singh Thakur, the alleged mastermind in Malegaon and Modasa blast cases.

Singh also played the Dalit card in defence of Shinde asking whether BJP was trying to build this atmosphere "because they are not liking a Dalit Home Minister".

"The Home Minister, himself, has taken back his words on 'Hindu terror'. Congress has also made it clear that terror has no religion or colour.

"If BJP asks Shinde to apologise, we ask L K Advani, Rajnath Singh and Uma Bharti to apologise," he said, asking why Advani went and Sushma Swaraj had met the Prime Minister over Pragya Thakur's arrest," the AICC leader said.

"BJP's agitation is unwarranted, unnecessary. BJP does not have any issues against our government. That is why they are making this non-issue an issue," Union reacting Reacting to BJP's tirade against Shinde, Minister V Narayanasamy said that what the Home Minister meant was that "we should not allow terrorism by any religious group or in any part of the country".

Party spokesperson Renuka Chowdhary said it was a "diversionary tactic" by BJP to shift attention from the circumstances in which they had to change their BJP President at the last moment.

"What wrong has Shinde said? He is the Home Minister. He must be having some facts. The party has already made it clear that Congress believes that terror has no religion or colour. Then what is this fuss all about. They are just trying to divert attention," Chowdhary said.
