In a recent press conference held in Bhopal, Congress leader Digvijaya Singh criticized BJP Madhya Pradesh chief VD Sharma, labeling him as 'impotent' for his inaction despite being part of a triple-engine government. Singh's remarks came in response to the Chhatarpur incident, where Hazi Shahzad Ali, the main accused in a stone-pelting case, was arrested, and his house was demolished. Singh accused the administration of acting in a biased manner throughout the incident, suggesting that the BJP and its affiliates are executing a planned agenda against certain communities. Singh drew a parallel between the treatment of Muslims by the RSS and the historical persecution of Jews by Hitler, asserting that the BJP is following a divisive path reminiscent of British colonial strategies. He expressed disappointment over VD Sharma's comments, which he interpreted as an accusation of supporting terrorism, emphasizing that such claims reflect a lack of action on Sharma's part. Additionally, Singh highlighted his previous legal efforts, mentioning a petition he filed in 2021 in the Indore High Court, urging the Madhya Pradesh government to adhere to the Supreme Court's guidelines. He noted that despite the passage of three years, there has been no response from the government regarding this matter. Singh also indicated his intention to pursue legal action concerning the Bhind case, demonstrating his commitment to addressing perceived injustices and holding the government accountable for its actions. His statements have sparked significant controversy and debate regarding the political climate in Madhya Pradesh.
