Bhopal, July 9: Congress leader Digvijay Singh gets an FIR filed against him at the Tukoganj Police Station in Indore for allegedly making a statement about Guru Golwalkar, the former head of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
An official announced on Sunday that Digvijay Singh has been charged under sections 153A, 469, 500, and 505 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijay Singh, on Saturday, tweeted a poster, which he captioned, “Do know what Guru Golwalkar ji’s thoughts were for the Dalits, backwards and Muslims and on the right on national water, forest and land.”
Golwalkar was described in the tweet as claiming that he preferred living under British rule than Muslims, Dalits and other backward groups receiving equal rights.
In his reply to Digvijay Singh on the social media platform Twitter, senior RSS official Sunil Ambekar said, “In the context of Shri Golwalkar Guruji, this tweet is factless and is going to create social disharmony. This false photoshopped picture has been put up with the aim of tarnishing the image of the Sangh. Shri Guruji never said such a thing. His whole life was engaged in ending social discrimination.”
श्री गोळवलकर गुरूजी के संदर्भ में यह ट्वीट तथ्यहिन है तथा सामाजिक विद्वेष उत्पन्न करने वाला है।संघ की छवि धूमिल करने के उद्देश्य से यह झूठा photoshopped चित्र लगाया हैं।श्री गुरूजी ने कभी भी ऐसे नहीं कहा। उनका पूरा जीवन सामाजिक भेदभाव को समाप्त करने में लगा रहा। @digvijaya_28 https://t.co/1VXBRavJ5f

Rajesh Joshi, an attorney, filed the FIR in the Madhya Pradesh High Court, alleging that Singh had made the comments about Golwalkar “intentionally” to hurt societal harmony.
“The sentiments of the RSS workers and Hindus have been hurt by his remark,” the FIR read.
