Although Digvijay Singh, the previous chief minister of Madhya Pradesh now claims to be a greater Hindu than BJP leaders, he’s notorious for his slanderous remarks in opposition to the Hindus.
In the 12 months 2019, Digvijay Singh claimed that the Bajrang Dal and the BJP acquired funding from the Pakistani intelligence company ISI. A case was registered in opposition to Singh again then over his statements. In September 2019, Singh said that folks wearing Saffron attires had been committing rapes contained in the temple, including that this isn’t Hindu dharma.
“Today, people are wearing saffron clothes and raping, rapes are happening inside temples, is this our religion? Those who have defamed our ‘Sanatan Dharma’, not even God will forgive them,” Digvijaya Singh mentioned again then.
And who can neglect that Digvijay Singh was one of many Congress leaders who dubbed the 26/11 Mumbai assaults an RSS conspiracy. He was a key promoter of the falsehood of ‘Hindu Terror’ peddled by the then-UPA authorities.
As Hindus have develop into more and more conscious and expressive of their spiritual and cultural identities, and have stopped accepting Hindumisia within the identify of tolerance and communal concord, Hindu-disdaining political events are compelled to change their stance, even when simply to make political positive factors.
