Digvijay Singh greeted with black flags

New Delhi: AICC General Secretary and Senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh was September 21 greeted with black flags by protestors who were angry over his flip-flop on Batla House encounter case.

 

Digvijay Singh was in the national capital to address a seminar organised by Jamia Teachers Solidarity Association (JTSA) on “The Politics of Terrorism and Suspicion: Two Years since the Batla House Encounter”.

 

The seminar was organised by the Jamia Millia teacher's body formed after the Batla House encounter that occurred on September 19, 2008 killing two Azamgarh youth who were studying at Jamia Millia.

 

The investigating agencies claim that the youth were terrorists but JTSA and other Muslim community leaders disagree with the police version. They even demanded thorough probe into the incident in which a senior police inspector was also killed.

 

Amid the continued protests and demands by the community leaders, Digvijay Singh had visited Azamagarh and had also reportedly raised doubts over the incident. He, however, had withdrawn his statements later.

 

The protestors were angry over this 'turnaround' and alleged that he was used by the Congress party as a tool to placate Muslims’ anger before elections.

 

Digvijay Singh, on his part, denied the allegations during the seminar and said, he expected the protest against him before arriving at the venue. Yet, he came because he wanted to stay with the community.

 

He also invoked his ‘limitations’ and ‘compulsions’ in the political establishment of which he is directly or indirectly a part.

Picture of the Day

Due to the threats of riot and terror attacks, the festive season in India nowadays results in sleepless nights for the security personnel. Against this backdrop, the show of communal harmony in Malegaon by Ajantha Mandal cannot be more timely. The Mandal in a large hoarding portrays the real picture of the Muslim dominated textile town in North Maharashtra. It shows, Malegaon is where Azan in a Masjid and Shunkh in a Mandir go simultaneously. To further make its point, the Mandal plays communal harmony songs on a cassette-player in its full sound.
