New Delhi: Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Wednesday dared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to file a case against him after PM Modi and other ministers slammed Singh for his tweet referring to the Pulwama terror attack as a “durghatana” (accident).
“The tweet for which you and your ministers branded me as a Pakistani supporter and deshdrohi (traitor), I tweeted that from Delhi where the police is under the central government. If you have the courage, please file a case against me,” Singh tweeted in Hindi.
मेरे जिस ट्वीट पर आप व आपके मंत्री गण मुझे पाकिस्तान समर्थक मानते हैं देशद्रोही मानते हैं वह मैंने दिल्ली से किया था जहॉं की पुलिस केंद्र सरकार के अन्तर्गत आती है। अगर आप में साहस है तो मेरे ऊपर मुकदमा दायर करें।

Digvijaya Singh in a Tweet on Tuesday said the foreign media had raised doubts over India’s air strike on a terror camp in Pakistan after the Pulwama “accident” and this has raised questions over the credibility of the government.
किन्तु पुलवामा दुर्घटना के बाद हमारी वायु सेना द्वारा की गयी “Air Strike” के बाद कुछ विदेशी मीडिया में संदेह पैदा किया जा रहा है जिससे हमारी भारत सरकार की विश्वसनीयता पर भी प्रश्न चिन्ह लग रहा है।

PM Modi later slammed Singh as he said that such statements reflect the ‘mentality’ of his party.
“The party that ruled our country for decades is now questioning the ability of our brave forces. Today, a leader from Madhya Pradesh said that the Pulwama terror attack was an accident. This is their mentality…” PM Modi said at a rally in Madhya Pradesh’s Dhar.
Home Minister Rajnath Singh also launched an attack on the Congress on Tuesday. He said the party is not willing to accept an assessment by the National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO) that said some 300 mobile phones were active at the Jaish camp before the Air Force’s fighter jets bombed it.
“The NTRO, which has an authentic system, said that 300 mobile phones were active… Were these mobile phones used by the trees? Now will you not believe the NTRO also?” he said.
