Nuh-like riots may be engineered in Madhya Pradesh before polls: Digvijaya Singh

Veteran Congress leader, Digvijaya Singh, has triggered a massive row with his controversial remarks against the BJP, drawing sharp condemnation from its party leaders.

Digvijaya Singh alleged the BJP is "planning communal riots" in Madhya Pradesh before the assembly elections, just as they "orchestrated violence" in Haryana's Nuh.

"The way these people caused communal violence in Nuh in Haryana, they have plans to instigate such riots (in Madhya Pradesh)," Mr Singh said while addressing a gathering of lawyers in Bhopal.
