A day after neutralised top Naxal commander Madvi Hidma and his wife were cremated at their native village in Chhattisgarh, Congress Rajya Sabha Member from Madhya Pradesh, Digvijaya Singh, on Friday shared a video of a tribal rights activist who claimed that Hidma was ‘murdered’ and raised questions on the police claims of shooting dead Hidma in an encounter.
Singh’s sharing the video and supporting the allegations sparked off a major political controversy, with several BJP leaders accusing Digvijaya Singh of always supporting those who work against the country but never paying any respect to those soldiers who sacrifice their lives to protect the nation.
