New Delhi, December 19: Congress leader Digvijay Singh, who has been at the centre of a controversy for his recent statement on slain Maharashtra police ATS chief Hemant Karkare receiving threats to his life from Hindu terrorists, today said there was no question of him going back on his statement.
”I continue to stand by what I said and I do not think that there is any question of my retracting it or going back on it,” he told reporters on the sidelines of the 83rd Congress Plenary.
Mr Singh said so far neither Congress president Sonia Gandhi nor general secretary Rahul Gandhi had asked for any clarification on the issue.
Targetting the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh, Mr Singh alleged RSS workers were involved in the 2008 Malegaon blast case that claimed seven lives.
The blast occurred near a hotel at Bhikku Chowk and the bombs were allegedly fitted onto a Hero Honda motorcycle and rigged to detonate.
Singh said when the RSS was involved in such activity, inevitably the blame fell on the minority Muslim community, and this in itself, was unfair.
