Senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh dared Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis Monday to take action against him in the Elgar Parishad case.
His comments came against the backdrop of the Pune police stating Monday that a letter seized in connection with the Elgar Parishad probe referred to a mobile number purportedly belonging to Singh.
A Pune police official, earlier in the day, said the letter in question was made part of the chargesheet against the activists arrested for alleged Maoist links in connection with the Elgar Parishad case.
The letter was seized during nationwide raids conducted by the Pune police in connection with the case, following which the activists were arrested, the official said.
Talking to reporters here, Singh said, "If Digvijay Singh is involved in any anti-national activity, then Modiji, Rajnathji and Fadnavisji are free to take action. Show the courage to take action."
Speaking about the phone number in the letter, the Congress leader said, "The phone number they are talking about has been in the public domain through the Rajya Sabha portal. Thousands of people know that number. I stopped using it around four years ago."
