Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh here on Wednesday accused BJP of launching a campaign against PCC chief Kamal Nath in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots case.
Despite Singh not being an accused, according to Singh, the campaign is being run by the rival BJP against him.
While talking to media persons here, Singh said the incident is 35 years old. There is no FIR against him, no charge-sheet or a case against him and he is not an accused in the case. Whenever his name crops up, BJP people run such kind of campaign.
Kamal Nath was a minister from 1985 to 1990 as well as between 1991 and 1996. He was also a minister from 2004 to 2014. At these times no one objected. Most or as much as 100 per cent Sikhs of Chhindwara are his supporters and he has also done service at the local Gurudwara. No one has a problem with him, he added.
He, however, asserted that he has no information as to who would be announced as the chief minister of Madhya Pradesh. An announcement in this regard is expected to be made this evening.
On being asked about the sloganeering by supporters of Jyotiraditya Scindia and Kamal Nath, Singh raised suspicion whether it is the rivals who stage managed it. He said, “People are excited and we do not know which party they belong to. It needs to be seen how many of them are Congress members or which party they are from.”
