Pointing to an alleged leaked Clubhouse chat of former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijaya Singh, the BJP on Saturday said that Congress’s first love is Pakistan. In the leaked chat, Singh was found telling a Pakistani journalist that Congress would reconsider the decision of revoking Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir once in power.
In a tweet, Union Minister Giriraj Singh said, “Congress’s first love is Pakistan. Digvijaya Singh conveyed Rahul Gandhi’s message to Pakistan. Congress will help Pakistan in grabbing Kashmir.” BJP national spokesperson Dr Sambit Patra tweeted, “Digvijaya Singh on being questioned by a Pak journalist, on getting rid of ‘Modi’ and on Kashmir policy, says that if Congress comes back to power they would have a rethink on Article 370 and may restore it. He also talks about Hindu fundamentalists. The Congress is a Clubhouse of anti-nationals.”

BJP national IT and social media in-charge, Amit Malviya, said that this is what Pakistan wanted. The chat was released on Twitter by a handle @LeaksClubhouse. In the chat, Singh said, “Decision of revoking 370 and reducing statehood of Jammu and Kashmir was an extremely sad decision and the Congress party would certainly relook the decision.” The Saffron party claimed that Singh was replying to Pakistani journalist Shahzeb Jillani.
No exemption from New IT Rules: Govt
All mainstream media, including print and electronic, will have to comply with the provisions of IT Rules, 2021 with immediate effect without exemption as the government has refused to exempt them from the ambit of the new digital media rules. The I&B ministry has said that the rationale for bringing the websites of the organisations under the ambit of the law is “well-reasoned”. “Making any exception of the nature proposed will be discriminatory to the digital news publishers who do not have a traditional TV/print platform,” the ministry said. The government’s clarification came as the National Broadcasters Association (NBA) had recently written to the ministry urging it to “exempt and exclude” the traditional television news media and its presence on digital news platforms from the ambit of the IT Rules, 2021.
