Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Friday said that strict action should be taken against All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leader Waris Pathan for his alleged divisive comments at a rally in Kalaburagi in Karnataka.

In a tweet, Singh said, "This type of comment is made by Asaduddin Owaisi's brother Akbaruddin Owaisi. There should be strict action against Waris Pathan. Congress has always fought against fundamentalist ideology. BJP and AIMIM complement each other and both spread hatred through religious sentiment."
