Congress leader Digvijay Singh showers praises on Amit Shah; shares how he had helped him during his Narmada Parikrama Yatra

New Delhi, Oct 1: Amid the ongoing Congress crisis, Congress senior leader Digvijay Singh was showering praises on Union Home Minister Amit Shah while describing how Shah had helped him during his Narmada Parikrama Yatra.

 

During his address at a book launch event in Bhopal on Thursday, he was sharing the memories of his ‘Narmada Parikrama’ yatra 4 years ago. Describing an incident, Singh stated that during the Yatra, he had once reached Gujarat late in the night. It was a hilly and forest area with no proper roads and no boarding facilities.

 

 

 

When Singh was stuck in such place a forest officer came to meet them, Singh said. The forest officer came up to Singh and introduced himself. He said to Singh that he has been instructed by Amit Shah to see to it that Digvijay Singh and his associates face no trouble and are well taken care of.

 

 

While narrating, Singh said that even though it was a remote area, they were given places to rest and good food. They were also helped in their travel and sent safely to their destination. At that time, Gujarat elections were going on, he, (Digvijay Singh) was one of Amit Shah’s biggest critics. Yet Amit Shah saw to it that they get to reach their destination safely and face no hardships on the way, he said.

 

 

Singh further stated that he has never met Amit Shah in person, but he had conveyed his gratitude to him after that incident. He further added that what Shah did, was a mark of how political opponents should be, respectful and cordial towards each other in behaviour while continuing with their political duties.

 

 

It is should be noted that this development came at a time when the Congress party is facing a major crisis in Punjab. With Amarinder Singh resigning from the post of CM and making Charanjit Singh Channi the CM, the party has further been in turmoil with the resignation of Sidhu. At the same time Amarinder Singh met with Amit Shah that might worry COngress.
