Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Senior Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP Digvijaya Singh on Monday threatened to sue Bharatiya Janata Party's Madhya Pradesh in charge P Muralidhar Rao for defamation for allegedly claiming the former was a "friend" of extremists and neighbouring Pakistan.

Singh during the day tweeted on the issue along with the image of a news report that claimed Rao made such a remark.

As per new reports, the remarks, including that Singh considered the BJP a bigger enemy than Pakistan, was allegedly made by Rao at a function in Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's official residence on Saturday.

"Are you out here? You have to reply in the court for the allegations you have levelled," Singh tweeted.
