'His statement reflected his mental state': Scindia takes dig at Digvijaya Singh over his 'traitor' remark

New Delhi, December 06: Giving a befitting reply to the Congress leader, Digvijaya Singh, over his `traitor` remark, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia took a dig at Singh, saying that the statement reflected his mental state.

 

Stating that he do not want to fall to that level, Scindia said what to say to people who called Osama Bin Laden "Osama Ji" and promised to restore Article 370.

 

The Union Civil Aviation Minister said, "What to say to those people who called Osama (Osama Bin Laden) as `Osama Ji` and told that they will abrogate Article 370 when they come to power."

 

 

 

"What he said reflects his mental state. The public will decide as to who is a traitor and who is not," Scindia added.

 

At a public meeting in Vidisha, senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh targeted his ex-colleague for leaving the Congress, saying, "Scindia (Jyotiraditya) Maharaj took every benefit from Congress and then joined BJP. History never forgets a traitor. Kamal Nath Ji's govt would have been intact if Scindia Maharaj had not betrayed Congress."

 

 

 

 

At another public meeting in Guna on Saturday, senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh had termed Jyotiraditya Scindia as a "betrayer" for quitting the party and joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

 

Singh alleged that Scindia had played a role in toppling the Kamal Nath-led government in Madhya Pradesh last year, adding "Scindia left the party and took our MLAs by distributing money among them. He betrayed Congress. Who had thought of it? The MLAs who had left Congress to topple the state government in 2020 had received Rs 25 crores each."

 

"If one person betrays, then his coming generations also turn out to be traitors," Singh added.
