MP Govt Mulls Legal Action Against Digvijaya Singh Over Tweet Linking Mosque In Another State To Khargone Violence

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan also took to the micro-blogging site, saying, “Digvijaya Singh has tweeted a photo of youths hoisting saffron flag at a religious place, which is not from Madhya Pradesh. This tweet of Digvijay Singh is a conspiracy to spread religious frenzy in the state and a conspiracy to throw the state in the fire of riots, which will not be tolerated.”

After this, some BJP leaders, including Bhopal MLA Rameshwar Sharma, raised questions over the picture posted by Singh. Some social media users claimed the picture posted by Singh was from Muzaffarpur in Bihar.

In a fresh tweet on Tuesday, Singh tagged a video of Mishra and said, “Did the Khargone administration and the police not hear this speech? Is this type of speech not inciting the public on the basis of religion? This is a speech from a place in Khargone and where else did Kapil Mishra's speak? Was the Khargone administration and the police not aware of this?”

Mishra further told the gathering around him that if they don't understand 'Kashmir Files' today, then they should be ready for 'Delhi Files, Bengal Files, Kerala Files, Bhopal Files, etc'.

Mishra had allegedly delivered a hate speech in February 2020 at a rally against the anti-CAA protesters in Delhi. Northeast Delhi witnessed communal riots in February that year in which at least 53 people lost their lives and over 700 were injured.
