Bhopal: Days after senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh claimed that people donning ‘saffron robes’ were committing rapes, some anonymous posters came up in the city, demanding a ban on his entry to Hindu religious places.
The posters, according to some people who saw them, were apparently put up around midnight outside various temples in the city, including the Parshuram temple in Char Imli area, by an unidentified right wing body.
However, they were removed them in the morning by unidentified persons. The posters, carrying pictures of the Congress veteran, read: “Hindu samaj ki yahi pukar, Hindu virodhi Digvijaya Singh ke liye mandiron ke darwaze band hon. Hindu Samaj (this is an appeal of Hindu society that doors of temples should be closed for anti-Hindu Digvijaya Singh).”
Singh kicked up a row on Tuesday by saying that people donning “saffron robes” are committing rapes which are taking place in “temples”, and thus defaming the Sanatan Dharma (ancient religion). He also said that such acts are “unforgivable”. Though Singh did not take names, his comments come close on the heels of a Supreme Court-appointed SIT probing allegations of rape levelled against BJP leader Swami Chinma-yanand by a law student in Uttar Pradesh.
