Congress leader Digvijaya Singh and other partymen were stopped on their way as they had not taken permission for such a large gathering amid Covid-19 outbreak.
Asked about Congress leaders criticising the party, senior leader Digvijaya Singh tells ThePrint he doesn't talk about his organisation in public and also advised others not to do this.
Ajit Jogi liked telling tales about ‘Diggy raja’, whom he loved to hate, but couldn't achieve much in MP politics. Luck finally smiled on him with Chhattisgarh's creation in 2000.
Congress leader and former MP CM Digvijay Singh held a sit-in protest in Bengaluru after he was not allowed to meet the 21 Congress MLAs from Madhya Pradesh.
Digvijaya Singh and Kamal Nath working in close coordination is a classic example of how political compulsions and a common enemy can bring even rivals together.
‘New India’, a collection of Arun Jaitley’s writings, provides an insight into the mind of the former finance minister, what he thought of Modi, Rahul Gandhi and AAP.
The 'ghuspaithiya' narrative is being whipped up precisely when illegal immigration has actually diminished. Like most BJP-RSS ideas, it’s just an unimaginative Right-wing trope.
With non-leather products driving global footwear demand between 2020 and 2024, India’s global market share stood at 1.85% in 2024, says a NITI Aayog report.
ISKP, a sub-continental branch of the Islamic State, is said to have vowed to extend operations in Kashmir, on encouragement from Pakistan’s security establishment.
Pakistan’s army has been a rentier force available to a reasonable bidder. It has never come to the aid of any Muslims including Palestinians or the Gazans, except making noises here and there.
It is pretty clear that Ram Mandir bhoomipujan ceremony is set to become an BJP/RSS event. Congress sbould not complain about not getting invitation rather they should educate the people about the great step taken by Rajiv Gandhi while laying the aadharsheela stone by the hand of a dalit priest at that time. It was all because of him that temple’s gates were reopened which ultimately paved the way for Advani’s Rath yaatra across the country. But who knew that it would took ugly turn and demolish Babri masjid. Congress should stick to its ideology of opposing the bigotry of hindutva which has nothing to to with the core ideology/ philosophies of Hinduism. A day will come when people will realize and recognize the ugly face of this ‘hindutva’ of BJP/RSS.
do you even understand the meaning of hindutva, i.e. state of being a hindu. how does it become equal to bigotry, may i ask?
Dear Writer,You have written this article giving an unnecessary importance to opposition leaders like Salman Khursid and Digvijoy Singh delibertely.Being a media professional you must have the knowledge about the role of these leader s in Rama Mandir construction.What types of obstacles they have not created in the path of Ram Mandir matter.When UPA government raised question about the existence of Lord ShriRam,when late Karunanidhi was asking about the engineering degree of Lord ShriRam then where the foreign lady Sonia Gandhi eulogiser Digvijoy Singh,Anil Shastri & so called Sankaracharjyas ,Ramanandi saints were sleeping ? After becoming unsuccessful in every negative attempt to stop Ramtemple they are shading crocodile tear for not getting invitation.All invitees of the VHP and BJP including honourable prime minister Modijee have made many sacrifice for the Ram Janma Bhoomi movement.They have not been invited for just being a successor of a dynasty but for their devotion, dedication, struggle for the cause of Ram temple.Being a successor of prestigious royal dynasty the activities of Digvijoy Singh towards hindu nationalism is very unfortunate. If Modijee had not been elected with a clear mandate of Indians ,then these so called fake secular brigade would have lingered the Ram temple matter by creating many obstacles.Lord Shriram has made it possible for build of his own birthplace by discarding the black sheeps.
Congress gets all the invites from Pakistan High Commission and Christian/Catholic organizations – not the BJP – nobody complains about that.
Also, Congress and Sickulars didnt realize the potential or the importance of Hindu faith – for decades they ignored and treated Hindus as pitiful second class citizens. Hindu unity has shown them, who Ram is and what he means in India. 70 years later, Nehru is history but Ram even after thousands of years is eternal. Congress and sickulars have to admit.
Why comments in plain decent language opposing congress views are being deleted here ? Is this the freedom of expression The Print would like to be for itself ? Shame on such intolerance.
Congress is a poor loser. This very wretched party questioned the existance of Lord Ram in the Supreme court. They said that the Ram Setu never existed and but still were ready to demolish it. Timely intervention by Subramanian Swamy saved it. During elections congress used to mock BJP and Hindus by slogans like “Mandir wahi banayenge par tareekh nahi batayenge”….now that Ram temple has become a reality following due process of law the congress is thinking that BJP will reap mileage out of this and hence fishing with these stupid statements on invitations. Presence of any congressman at the venue will be sacrilege. Organisers please ensure that these thick skinned anti nationals are not seen anywhere close to the ground breaking venue.
The Congress should introspect on their long history of demeaning Hindu faith, corruption, nepotism and more recent blatant anti-India activities. The culmination is projecting an incompetent half-wit moron as leader.
when muslims were attending lavish iftar parties and enjoying hajj pilgrimage at govt cost it was secularism. what is the contribution of congress in building ram maunder is well known. they can attend the ceremony a common devotes
“We do not want any more mixing of religion and politics.” says Congress.
Too little too late. Even today, all opposition parties are playing Muslim vote bank politics.
When Muslims are pampered, that is secularism. When Hindus are pampered that is fanaticism.
For seventy years they opposed the Ram Janmabhoomi movement tooth and nail. Tried every single dirty trick in the book to prevent it from being successful. Now that the temple is about to be built, they want invitations to the bhoomi-pujan ceremony.
You people never owned the movement for the Ram Mandir. You always disowned and opposed this issue.You declared Ram to be a fictitious character. So why this heartburn now?
Oh really ? Says the party which single handedly tried to just wash away this “faith” with one stroke questioning the existence of the Ram Setu ! Oh the irony ! Congress is behaving like a mortal body trapped in a ton of quicksand ! Its being paid back in the same coin after all it learnt to do was plaster names of family over government run schemes and gloat over those “credits”. Serves them well ! Hypocrisy at its finest

Yes. All credit has to go to BJP. Congress is Hindu hater.

Writes “Fatima Khan”
Where was the Congress when karsevaks were sacrificing their lives for the temple?
If Sangh is taking full credit, they deserve it. They gave blood for the cause.
You people never owned the movement for the Ram Mandir. You always disowned and opposed this issue.You declared Ram to be a fictitious character. So why this heartburn now?
What a change of heart.
Congress was asking birth certificate of ram and now screaming its bjp only event.
Just astounding.
On another note those asked for birth certificate of ram be prepared to produce your own kagaz.
If Ram can show his kagaz every bhartiya will make sure the Indian Arabs better do it.
Let’s go NRC.
