Digvijay to Modi, Don’t divide nation
New Delhi: Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh on Saturday asked Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi not to ‘divide the nation’ on religious line.
A day after Modi’s remarks sparked a political furore, Singh said on Twitter, “Shouldn’t we all be Nationalist Indians rather than Hindu Nationalist or Muslim Nationalist or Sikh Nationalist or Christian Nationalist?”
“What a powerful condemnation of Taliban and all forms Fundamentalism. She has now become an Icon for World Literacy. Congratulations to her and let us resolve to fight for all that she stands for! May God give her a long life and the strength she deserves,” the Congress general secretary said hailing the 16-year-old.
The tweets of Singh, a known detractor of the controversial Gujarat Chief Minister, came close on the heels of Modi’s attempts to defend himself against allegations of inaction during the 2002 riots in Gujarat.
