Digvijay for NSA on those attacking nuns

Bhopal: Condemning the attack on nuns by Bajrang Dal activists in Indore, senior Congress leader and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijay Singh on Saturday demanded that the assailants be arrested and booked under the National Security Act. “I strongly condemn attack on nuns at Indore. This is a very unfortunate and regrettable incident. Those involved in the crime should be arrested immediately and National Security Act slapped on them,” Mr. Singh said in a statement here. Accusing the BJP-led Government for its failure to protect minorities, women and children, Mr. Singh said it was protecting anti-social elements which were involved in disturbing the peace and amity in the State.

“While on the one hand the State Government was inviting investors saying Madhya Pradesh was a peaceful State, on the other hand Bajrang Dal activists have sent a message to the World that the atmosphere here was not fit for industrial growth,” Mr. Singh said.- PTI
