On Saturday, Digvijaya Singh shared a post on his social media accounts with a picture of a page carrying several controversial comments quoted to the former RSS head, known as Guruji among his admirers. Golwalkar was quoted as saying that he would rather live under British rule than have equal rights given to Dalits, backwards and Muslims. Some other controversial comments were also attributed to him.
Meanwhile, Digvijaya Singh has hit at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah stating that – “You are gathering a group of power-losing cowardly traitors who used to abuse you after drinking water, today they are singing your praises. The day both of you get down from the chair, all these traitors will run away leaving you first.” In a series of tweets on his official social media handle, Singh wrote, “I am and will be a critic of both of you, but because you have never compromised with your ideology (which I am fundamentally opposed to), I am also your fan. God bless both of you.
