Digvijay targets Modi, Swaraj on Asaram controversy
September 01, 2013  14:30
Stepping up attack on BJP over Asaram Bapu controversy, Congress leader Digvijay Singh today targeted Narendra Modi, asking why he has not taken action on the report of a judicial commission which probed the mysterious death of two boys at the godman's Gujarat ashram.

The remarks by Singh, who claimed that Asaram was close to BJP, came a day after he questioned why opposition leader Sushma Swaraj was "silent" on rape allegation against the self-styled godman when she has been vocal on issue of atrocities on women and accused her party of double standards.

Reacting to it, Swaraj said the law will take its own course.

"In our country we have a law that is same for everybody," she tweeted. But Singh persisted with his charge, "This is very illustrative of the double standrads of the BJP that they cry hoarse on issues where someone else is involved but where one of them is involved, they keep quiet."
