Madhya Pradesh: Digvijaya Singh, Congress leader and former chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, criticised BJP ruled central government for its decision on the Kashmir issue, asserting that it will further escalate the problems in the valley. Digvijaya Singh said on Tuesday, "The decision that they took without taking people of Kashmir in confidence, was not right. It will escalate problems. Don't forget there is China on one side, Pakistan on the other, there is Afghanistan too. Think what trouble have you put the nation in?"

Mounting a sharp attack on founding fathers of BJP, Digvijaya Singh further accused party ideologues of siding with Britishers during India's struggle for Independence prior to 1947. "Congress has always emphasised on nationalism. Was Hyderabad integrated in India by BJP or did it or Sangh fought for the country's Independence? Did BJP or RSS had any role in making Kashmir part of India? These people in-fact before 1947 were standing with the British government. During Quit India Movement they opposed Mahatma Gandhi and stated that Britishers should be supported and called on Hindus to join British force. They should not teach us a lesson", Singh said.
