Digvijay feels his terror barbs make Indian Muslims happy: Uma

Union minister Uma Bharti Wednesday accused senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh of speaking in favour of terrorism and terrorists "as he feels that doing so make Indian Muslims happy".

She also advised Singh and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath to go to RSS shakhas to learn the lessons on patriotism.

Singh has drawn severe flak from the BJP for his tweet, in which he termed the Pulwama terror attack a "durghatna" (accident).

"Congress always has doubts on the patriotism of Muslims. He (Singh) feels that if he speaks in favour of terrorism and terrorists, then Indian Muslims will become happy. Muslim votes always remains his target," the minister for drinking water and sanitation said.

When asked about some Congress ministers' demand to ban RSS shakhas in public places, she said, "Sangh workers have nationalist thinking and it (ban) won't affect them."
