New Delhi, Jan 21 (NationPress) On Wednesday, leaders from the NDA coalition vehemently criticized senior Congress figure Digvijaya Singh for his remarks alleging that the BJP and RSS were engaged in a "coordinated game of division" alongside the AIMIM. They contended that Singh's comments were merely attempts to maintain his political relevance.

Singh accused the BJP and RSS of orchestrating a "coordinated game" of division in collaboration with AIMIM.

Additionally, he claimed that Vinayak Damodar Savarkar and Muhammad Ali Jinnah bore joint responsibility for India's Partition.

In his remarks about the current political landscape, Singh suggested that the RSS and AIMIM's Asaduddin Owaisi reflect each other, with one side asserting that Hindus are under threat and the other claiming that Muslims are endangered, thus polarizing society for political gain.

In response to Singh's comments, BJP, Shiv Sena, and NISHAD Party leaders expressed their outrage, stating that the Congress party is the true architect of the nation's division.

Bihar Minister Dilip Jaiswal, speaking to IANS, remarked, "This rhetoric from Singh is nothing new. He keeps his political career alive through such statements, as he has lost his relevance in the Congress party, and Rahul Gandhi no longer seeks his advice. His language is an effort to rejuvenate his image."

Chhattisgarh Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sharma also condemned Singh's statements and questioned their intent.

"Why would the BJP want to intimidate anyone? We aim to be a solid force alongside the Indian populace. His comments appear designed to create confusion; they can say whatever they want. If someone posits that societal division leads to national division, is that incorrect? The society was divided, leading to the creation of Pakistan, and subsequently, Bangladesh," he stated.

Shiv Sena leader from the Shinde faction, Sanjay Shirsat, dismissed Singh's remarks as insignificant.

"What Digvijaya Singh said is of little consequence. The Congress has historically divided the nation, separating communities such as Dalits and Muslims. These divisions, whether among communities or religions, have been perpetuated by Congress," he asserted.

Jharkhand BJP spokesperson Pratul Shah Deo stated that Singh is aware of the true reasons behind the Partition of India.

"Digvijaya Singh knows well who was responsible for the country's division. The Congress itself endorsed Partition during its session by accepting Jinnah's proposal. Those who caused the division should feel ashamed before making such claims today," he commented.

Uttar Pradesh Minister Sanjay Nishad also criticized the Congress, stating, "The RSS has always focused on serving humanity. The Congress, conversely, has consistently pursued an agenda of division. If they oppose the RSS, they should find their own niche elsewhere, as this country will operate under the ideologies of PM Modi and the RSS until 2050. There is no space for the Congress here."

Conversely, leaders from Congress and Shiv Sena (UBT) rallied in support of Digvijaya Singh, endorsing his remarks and asserting that the ideologies of both the BJP-RSS and AIMIM pose a "harmful" threat to the nation.

Congress MP Tariq Anwar, speaking to IANS, stated, "This statement is entirely accurate. Both parties rely on communalism, one advocating for Hindu solidarity and the other for Muslim unity. Both are detrimental to the nation."

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi emphasized that Singh was highlighting a broader political pattern.

"He implies that the BJP and AIMIM are two sides of the same coin, with one drawing while the other pushes. It's increasingly apparent that agencies like the ED, CBI, or Income Tax have never pressured AIMIM," she explained.

"Both parties instill fear among Hindus and Muslims by suggesting they are unsafe. People from all communities and religions coexist in this nation, rendering such divisive tactics irrelevant," she added.
