BHOPAL: After senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh minister for cooperatives Dr Govind Singh on Tuesday launched an attack on the Narendra Modi government over the appointment of the new Ram Temple Trust.“PM Modi has handed Ram temple to the RSS and its ally the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP),” alleged Dr Govind Singh. “By appointing RSS functionaries in the temple trust, the Prime Minister has tried to capture the temple. Sadhus and sants have been deprived. It has always been the BJP’s culture to divide the nation in the name of religion to grab power while Congress takes everyone along.”On Saturday, former chief minister Digvijaya Singh shot a letter to PM Modi disapproving of some members of the trust. He said that many of those included are political workers of the RSS and VHP.Former Union minister Uma Bharti reacted sharply to both Digvijaya Singh and Dr Govind Singh. She said, “Digvijaya Singh takes such initiatives to remain in the headlines. One can understand his popularity by the margin of his defeat from Bhopal Lok Sabha constituency.” Uma Bharti advised Dr Govind Singh to join the RSS.Meanwhile, BJP MLA and former minister Vishwas Sarang also pointed an accusing finger at Dr Govind Singh. He said, “A person who says that Tirth Darshan Scheme should be stopped and says pilgrimage to holy places is wastage of money can very well make such statements on the temples. He has no affiliation to the Hindu religion.The way he has spoken about the RSS and VHP is objectionable.” Dr Govind Singh had recently said that the state government Tirth darshan Yojana for pilgrimage of elderly citizens to various holy places should be stopped.
