Congress MLA Jaiwardhan Singh on Thursday said his that his father and party general secretary, Digvijay Singh's move to remarry was a "personal matter" and extended full support to him.

"However, I would like to say that my father has my full support," Singh said.

67-year-old Digvijay had announced on Wednesday on micro-blogging website Twitter that he was in a relationship with TV anchor Amrita Rai, who has filed for a mutual consent divorce from her first husband.
