My statement doesn't help terrorist: Digvijiay

Bhopal, Jan 9: Congress General Secretary Digvijay Singh on Sunday, Jan 9, rubbished BJP's accusation that his statement on the late Maharashtra ATS Chief Hemant Karkare amounted to helping terrorists in India or Pakistan.

Digvijiay triggered a controversy recently when he said that Karkare had talked to him about threats from radical right-wing groups before his death in Mumbai 26/11 terror attack.

"I do not think that there is any way in which it can be said that my statement on Karkare helped terrorists in India or Pakistan in any regard," Digvijiay told PTI.

Digvijiay said that BJP and RSS appeared to be fond of criticising him but he would like to ask them about those who belonged to the Sangh Parivar and were linked to blasts and other similar activities.

Asked if the reported confession by Swami Aseemanand would blunt the Sangh Parivar's attack on him, Digvijiay said he would not be surprised, if they say Digvijay Singh is a bigger terrorist than “Swami Aseemanand."
