Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Warning Rajya Sabha member and Congress leader Digvijaya Singh against making any attempt to disturb peace in Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said here on Tuesday the photo tweeted by the Congress leader this morning in which some people are seen hoisting religious flags on a shrine is not of Madhya Pradesh.

CM said, "Digvijaya Singh has hatched a conspiracy to incite religious fanaticism in Madhya Pradesh and throw the state into fire of riot."

CM said he would not tolerate any attempt by anyone whoever he may be, to hatch a conspiracy to cause riots in the state.

Having posted the photo on Twitter, that he suggested to be of Madhya Pradesh Digvijaya Singh said, “Did Khargone administration gave permission to take out the procession with swords and lathis? Will bulldozer raze houses of stone pelters irrespective of their religion?"

He said, “I am of view that taking action against anyone without giving a fair chance of hearing is wrong. Does Indian constitution have provision of bulldozer culture? If you want run bulldozers illegally then don’t differentiate on the basis of religion."

Singh on Tuesday also raised questions over the Khargone administration in connection with the violence there, while tagging a video of BJP leader Kapil Mishra in which he was seen exhorting Hindus to protect their identity while referring to Hindi film "The Kashmir Files", which is based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Kashmir Valley.

Singh had on Monday blamed the Khargone administration and police for the violence there during the Ram Navami festival.

He had also sought to link BJP leader Kapil Mishra with communal riots and referred to the latter's presence in Khargone. Mishra had, however, said "Jihadis" were responsible for pelting stones and arson in Khargone.

In a fresh tweet on Tuesday, Singh tagged a video of Mishra and said, "Did the Khargone administration and the police not hear this speech? Is this type of speech not inciting the public on the basis of religion? This is a speech from a place in Khargone and where else did Kapil Mishra's speak? Was the Khargone administration and the police not aware of this?" In the video, Mishra was seen telling a gathering that, "We should not have any other identity than Hindu. If they talk about identity other than Hindu, then understand that they are talking about caste, they are creating division among us and preparing to create your 'Kashmir File'." Mishra further told the gathering around him that if they don't understand 'Kashmir Files' today, then they should be ready for "Delhi Files, Bengal Files, Kerala Files, Bhopal Files, etc".

"So, it is important today to understand that what happened in Kashmir should not happen in our locality, it should not happen in our area," he said.

Claiming that some people raised slogans in favour of terrorists, including Burhan Wani, at a religious place in Srinagar, Mishra said, "I want to tell them from the land of Khargone that the house from where Burhan will emerge, we will enter that house and kill (him)".
