Its not a case of persisting with him' date=' rather I think they have given him full liberty to give the unofficial party line on various issues on which the party cannot take controversial views like Diggy does. For ex in the Batla House case the Congress cannot come out openly and say that it was fake but Digvijay Singh can make a "personal" comment. Such statements are made way to often to be a slip of the tongue or mistake or sign of him being out of touch with the political reality. IMO this is simply the Congress' real view given out unofficially by these disgusting people like Diggy, Shakeel Ahmad, Satyavrat Chaturvedia etc.[/quote'] shat pratishat agreed

we are not naive' date=' but then again, we are not the ones targeted by these statements. Those who are targeted by these statements do believe in them.[/quote'] Again you are right. But why despite knowing this is wrong, then no one voices it out. Neither the news channels do that and even here, some posters take it a simple joke. It's serious matter.

the opposition does criticize many of his statements but the media, as always, is silent anything said by top Congress leaders. As for ICF posters, I guess many take it as a joke because his statements are not meant for them.

And also they seem to have the right to label others whatever they want. And no one raises an objective.

Diggy Raja now slams Grand Mufti of Kashmir Video shows Grand Mufti’s double speak, says Digvijaya

As a video of Jammu and Kashmir's Grand Mufti Bashiruddin Ahmad purportedly enjoying a musical evening went viral on social networking sites, months after he issued a fatwa against three Kashmiri girls for being part of a rock band, Congress general secretary Digvijaya Singh on Sunday hit out at him saying that it has exposed his "double speak". "Double speak of Mufti of J&K exposed on issue of music being Un-Islamic. All Religious Fundamentalists are experts of Double Speak," tweeted Singh, who is known for his vitriolic attacks against the Sangh Parivar. The Grand Mufti had created a storm earlier this year after he issued a religious decree against the first all girls rock band of Kashmir, Pragaash, saying singing was "un-Islamic". The group disbanded after the fatwa. Singh's tweet comes at a time when he is under attack from the BJP for his views on the Batla House encounter. Singh had recently posted an article in his blog countering the perception that he was "anti-Hindu", calling himself a practising Hindu who does his religious chores everyday and talking about the existence of nine temples at his residence in Raghogarh. The Mufti has termed the video as handiwork of mischievous elements. He had argued that the event was not a musical event. "It was a seminar on life of noted literary person Akbar Haideri, which was organised by Aziz Hajini and Rukhsana Jabeen (Director of AIR, Srinagar). The programme began with the recitation of Holy Quran and at the end Kaiser Nizami read some verses of Akbar Haideri," he said.

He was the undisputed and absolute authority in Madhya Pradesh leading the erstwhile Congress government ten years ago. And yet on Wednesday evening, the Congress closed its doors on AICC general secretary and former chief minister Digvijaya Singh denying him entry into a press conference. For nearly 20 minutes, Digvijaya Singh and his supporters stood outside the doors of the state PCC conference hall banging on the wooden panels and requesting entry even as Union minister of state Jyotiraditya Scindia was talking to the media. Scindia has been appointed the party's state election campaign committee chairman earlier this week while Digvijaya Singh has been left-out of the 22-member election committee panel. Scindia continued to address the media flanked by AICC general secretary in charge of state party affairs Mohan Prakash, senior leader Sanjay Nirupam, PCC president Kantilal Bhuria and leader of opposition Ajay Singh, while Digvijaya Singh's men made desperate calls from their mobile phones asking Congress workers inside to open the door and make way for his access. As Digvijaya Singh kept waiting outside, Scindia was talking the press claiming there was no factional rivalry within the party. He claimed leaders like Digvijaya Singh, Union minister Kamal Nath other leaders like Suresh Pachauri and the state top-brass were all strung together in a single garland of unity. Meanwhile the banging on the door continued and Scindia asked Congress workers not to let in whoever was knocking. Senior Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam also instructed that admittance into the hall is not permitted. Congress workers were seen guarding the door from inside lest the Singh and his supporters managed to unlock the gate. When the doors were not opened, Digvijaya Singh walked around the Congress office compound to gain entry through a back door. But that door was also jammed and a miffed Digvijaya Singh turned to the elevator so he could wait for the rest of the party leaders to join him for an election meeting. But half-way up the second floor, the elevator stopped working. An infuriated and irate Digvijaya Singh had had enough and told his supporters to turn around and walk-out of the state Congress office. Hurt and humiliated, he climbed into his SUV and left the Congress office with his supporters following in a cavalcade. Recently with approaching assembly elections, Digvijaya Singh is getting unfair treatment at the hands of party men and specially a much younger Jyotiraditya Scindia who is being portrayed as the Congress' chief minister probable. Earlier this month, the Scindia faction organized a rally in Morena where Digvijaya Singh was kept waiting for more than two hours by the Union minister of state. A much-harassed Digvijaya sat on the dais in Morena sweating profusely and waiting for Scindia's arrival on the stage. The programme scheduled to start at 1pm finally saw Jyotiraditya Scindia arrive at 3:15pm.
:hysterical: reminds me of the Sitaram Kesari incident when he was locked in toilet

Thats a rumour but there are reports which somewhat lend credence to the rumour read these rashid kidwai's book - 24 Akbar Road: A Short History of The People Behind The Fall And Rise of The Congress http://www.dnaindia.com/lifestyle/1564149/report-the-sitaram-kesri-case-how-dynasty-trumped-ethics
Kick the dog On 14 March 1998, 24 Akbar Road was a mute witness to a constitutional coup that saw the rather unsavoury exit of an ‘elected’ Congress president. Kesri was so upset with the day’s events that he kicked his loyal Pomeranian, Ruchi. The ailing Kesri, then seventy-nine, had arrived at the CWC meeting at 24 Akbar Road convinced that a party president could not be forced out. He did not know that before the 11 am meeing, most CWC members had gathered at Pranab’s home to endorse two crucial statements. The first was an ultimatum asking Kesri to step down; the second, a resolution replacing him with Sonia Gandhi. The moment Kesri stepped into the hall, he knew something was amiss. Loyalist Tariq Anwar was the only one who stood up to greet him. After Kesri sat down, Pranab began reading out a resolution’thanking’ him for his services and invoking Clause J of Article 19 of the Congress constitution. A horrified Kesri listened to its provisions: the CWC could act beyond its constitutional powers in ‘special situations’ as long as it got the decision ratified by the AICC within six months. Party leaders later admitted that the provision did not specifically say that an elected party president could be removed with its help. ‘Arre yeh kya keh rahe ho (Hey, what are you saying)’ was all Kesri could say when he found his voice. But there was a smirk on the faces of his colleagues. Kesri raved against the ‘unconstitutional’ meeting and loudly protested that he was still the Congress chief. But Prasada, the vice president of the party was already announcing, to thunderous applause, that ‘Madam Sonia Gandhi’ was their new leader. The axed president stormed out, followed by Anwar. He spent more than an hour in his office, calling up his advisors, but it was already getting difficult to hear them amid the crackers and slogans welcoming Sonia. When Kesri stepped out of the room, his name board was missing, already replaced by a computer printout that said: ‘Congress President Sonia Gandhi’.

some reports say that on March 14, 1998, she gave a go-ahead to her supporters to stage a constitutional coup against the then Congress president, Sitaram Kesri. The reports also said she hurriedly occupied Kesri’s seat when he was in the bathroom. Kesri was kept locked in the bathroom by the Congress goondas until her coup-d’etat was ratified by the assembled Congressmen. That’s how she became the Congress president. -
