Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh has sparked a fresh a controversy by claiming that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Bajrang Dal are taking money from money from Pakistan's spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). The former Madhya Pradesh chief minister also claimed that non-Muslims are spying for Pakistan's premier intelligence agency more than Muslims.
"Bajrang Dal, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are taking money from ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence). Attention should be paid to this. Non-Muslims are spying for Pakistan's ISI more than Muslims. This should be understood," he was quoted as saying by ANI.
According to reports, Singh made these controversial remarks in Bhind while addressing a gathering after inaugurating the statue of Maharana Pratap.
Reacting to Singh's statement, BJP leader Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that he make such controversial statements to stay in news.
"He gives controversial statements to stay in news. He and his leaders speak Pakistan's language. Pakistan quotes Rahul Gandhi. As far as BJP-RSS is concerned, the entire world, the entire country knows their patriotism," Chouhan said.
Earlier on Saturday, Digvijaya said Prime Minister Narendra Modi was worried about Fit India while the economy is facing a slump.
He also said Congress president Sonia Gandhi will take a call on appointing a new Madhya Pradesh Congress chief, a post currently held by Chief Minister Kamal Nath.
“The economy is in bad shape. The government itself is saying GDP is falling. The condition has reached to such an extent that government has to take money from Reserve Bank of India. But the Prime Minister Modi is worried about Fit India,” he told reporters.
