Firing a fresh salvo against senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh for addressing slain Al Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden as "Osama-ji", Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan today said he should realise the difference between a patriot and a terrorist.
"Those who have remarked against martyred police official Mahesh Chandra Sharma and termed dreaded terrorist Osama Bin Laden as Osamaji should think on their own that who is a patriot and who is a terrorist," the chief minister said.
He was talking to reporters here during his ongoing 'Janashirwad Yatra'.
Chouhan had last week, in an apparent reference to Singh's calling Osama bin Laden as "Osama-ji" years ago asked, if adding the honorific 'Ji' for a terrorist was not an anti-national act.
After Chouhan calling his actions and statements anti-national, Singh had said that he would appear before the police and they could arrest him.
To this, Chouhan said today that Singh was free to do so. "We have not asked him to do so."
Continuing his tirade against the Congress leader, Chouhan said, "Singh talks of getting arrested, but he does not know that he should not say anything against patriots."
