Digvijaya Singh says Congress could have ‘relook’ at Art 370 revocation, BJP hits out

Congress chief Digvijaya Singh’s feedback in a clubhouse dialog that the revocation of Article 370 and stripping Jammu and Kashmir of statehood was an “extremely sad” choice and his social gathering could have a “relook” on the situation have triggered a row, with the BJP accusing him of talking in opposition to India and in settlement with Pakistan.
Singh’s remarks to an individual, who the BJP mentioned was a journalist of Pakistani origin, was seized by the saffron social gathering leaders to hit out on the opposition social gathering with its spokesperson Sambit Patra demanding statements from Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul Gandhi on the difficulty.
“The decision of revoking Article 370 and reducing the statehood of J&K is extremely, I would say, sad decision, and the Congress party would certainly have a relook on the issue,” Singh mentioned, in line with bits of dialog obtainable on social media.
He was responding to a query concerning the “way forward” on the difficulty as soon as the Modi authorities is gone.
As the BJP attacked him, Singh posted a tweet in Hindi in an obvious jibe on the ruling social gathering.
“This bunch of illiterate people cannot probably differentiate between ‘shall’ and ‘consider’,” the previous Madhya Pradesh chief minister mentioned.
Attacking him, Patra instructed reporters, “We have all seen how Digvijaya Singh is spitting venom on India and speaking in agreement with Pakistan. This is the same person who had dubbed the Pulwama attack as an accident and described the 26/11 Mumabi attack as RSS conspiracy.”
The BJP chief cited previous feedback of different Congress leaders, together with Rahul Gandhi and Mani Shankar Aiyar, to allege that Singh’s remarks have been half of a bigger sample of the social gathering being “hand in glove” with Pakistan.
“This is all part of the toolkit which the BJP had exposed,” Patra mentioned in a reference to a controversial doc rejected as pretend by the Congress.
The Congress would go to the extent of collaborating with China and Pakistan to unfold “hate” in opposition to Modi and India, he alleged.

“The Congress should change its name from INC (Indian National Congress) to ANC, Anti-national Clubhouse. This is such a clubhouse whose members have begun hating India while hating Modi,” he alleged.
Patra requested Sonia Gandhi and Rahul to make their social gathering’s stand clear on the difficulty.
He claimed that Rahul Gandhi is the chief of those Congress politicians, including that Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan had used his criticism of Article 370 as a part of his nation’s file in opposition to India on the difficulty within the UN.
Union ministers Giriraj Singh and Kiren Rijiju have been amongst different BJP leaders who focused the Congress of their tweets over the difficulty.
Singh alleged, “Congress’s first love is Pakistan. Digvijaya Singh conveyed Rahul Gandhi’s message to Pakistan. Congress will help Pakistan in grabbing Kashmir.”
