Case registered against Digvijaya for ISIS tweet, says he is 'Thankful to Telangana government'

New Delhi: On Thursday, a case was registered against veteran Congress leader Digvijaya Singh for allegation on Telangana Police for radicalising Muslim youth by setting up fake ISIS site. "I am thankful to the Telangana government for getting this case registered. I will get a chance to prove my point and in my defence I would call the Chief Minister, Home Minister, DGP, Home Secretary of India, National Security of India to depose and I will cross question them," Singh said reported news agency ANI. Recently, veteran Congress leader Digvijaya Singh had made a shocking allegation by accusing Telangana Police of setting up a 'bogus ISIS site which is radicalising Muslim Youths and encouraging them to become ISIS Modules'. Questioning the involvement of Chief Minister of the state K. Chandrashekhar Rao in the matter, Congress leader asserted that if KCR is involved then he should own up and resign. "If he has then shouldn't he own the responsibility and resign?" Singh tweeted.   "Is it Ethical? Is it Moral? Has KCR authorised Telangana Police to trap Muslim Youths and encourage them to join ISIS?" Singh added.   "Telangana Police has set up a bogus ISIS site which is radicalising Muslim Youths and encouraging them to become ISIS Modules," he tweeted. "Whether the state police should be trapping Muslim youth in becoming ISIS modules by posting inflammatory information?" Singh tweeted. Senior Congress leader also raised questions on the ISIS terror accused Saifullah's encounter that it was on the basis of the Telangana cop's information that the Madhya Pradesh police arrested accused who were responsible for the bomb blast in the train in Shajapur District. Saifullaha's encounter also took place in Kanpur the same day. "It was on their information that MP Police arrested accused who were responsible for the bomb blast in train in Shajapur District of MP," Singh tweeted.   "It also resulted in Saifullaha encounter in Kanpur the same day," he tweeted.   The Lucknow district administration, recently, ordered a magisterial probe into the death of ISIS terror accused Saifullah. He was killed on the outskirts of Uttar Pradesh capital after long hours of anti-terror operation on March 8. Interestingly, the Congress replaced General Secretary Digvijaya Singh as in-charge of poll-bound Karnataka and given charge to party MP K.C. Venugopal. Singh is also removed from Goa, where it failed to form a government despite emerging as the single-largest party. Chella Kumar has been named in charge of Goa. Party Secretary Amit Deshmukh will assist Kumar. Interestingly in Goa, Congress failed to form a government despite emerging as the single-largest party. A press release issued by the Congress party on Saturday said that four party Secretaries - Manickam Tagore, P.C. Vishnunadh, Madhu Yashki Goud and Sake Sailjanath - will assist Venugopal. "Congress President Sonia Gandhi has assigned the task of looking after Karnataka and Goa affairs to new AICC teams," a Congress release said, reported IANS. In the first half of 2018, elections will be held in the Karnataka assembly. The Congress is in power in the state. In Goa, the Congress failed to form the government despite emerging as the largest single party after the assembly elections. BJP, which had won lesser seats, managed to retain power with the help of smaller parties. Digvijaya Singh faced flak for the outcome. Interestingly, Manohar Parrikar "thanked" him for failing to cobble up a majority. Parrikar gave up the Defence Minister's post to go back to Goa and become the Chief Minister. Vishwajit Rane, son of senior Congress leader and ex-Chief Minister Pratapsing Rane, who had quit the party over the failure to form a government and joined the BJP, had also accused Digvijaya Singh of committing blunders. Rane is newly-elected legislator.
