The BJP on Saturday alleged that the leaked audio of Digvijaya Singh's clubhouse chat is a part of the 'toolkit' it mentioned a few days ago and that the INC (Indian National Congress) should rename itself as the ANC (Anti National Clubhouse).
"It is quite possible that what Digvijaya Singh has said in Clubhouse chat must have been stage-managed. Digvijaya Singh or a senior Congress leader must have instructed the Pakistani journalist to ask such a question. It's all part of that toolkit mentioned a few days ago," BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said.
"In the Clubhouse chat, a Pakistani journalist asks that after the removal of Narendra Modi, what will be India's Kashmir policy. Digvijaya ji thanks the journalist and says that the Congress government will reinstate Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir," he said while adding that he is pro-Pakistan and 'spewing venom' against India outside. "This is such a clubhouse of Anti-Indian and Modi haters," Patra said.
"Congress' first love is Pakistan. Digvijaya Singh conveyed Rahul Gandhi's message to Pakistan. Congress will help Pakistan in grabbing Kashmir," Union Minister Giriraj Singh tweeted.
However, Digvijay Singh responded to the allegation via Twitter. "Uneducated people may not understand the difference between shall and consider," he tweeted in Hindi.
The chat was leaked on the Twitter handle @LeaksClubhouse, which was created today.
In response to Shahzeb Jillani, a Pakistani journalist's question on whether Congress would reconsider the revocation of Article 370, Singh said, "Decision of revoking 370 and reducing statehood of Jammu and Kashmir was an extremely sad decision and the Congress party would certainly relook the decision."
