Bhopal, Sep 17: Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Tuesday took an apparent dig at rape accused BJP leader Chinmayanand, saying some saffron-clad people were indulging in selling churan and committing rapes by defaming the Sanatan Dharma.

While Singh did not take names, his comments come close on the heels of a Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing allegations of rape levelled against BJP leader Swami Chinmayanand by a law student in Uttar Pradesh.

"A person after parting ways with his family becomes a sadhu (monk)...and turns to spirituality. But today people wearing saffron robes are selling 'churan' (fake potions)," he said.
