New Delhi: After disapproving of his letter to Anna Hazare, the Congress on Friday appeared to distance itself from party General Secretary Digvijaya Singh's charge that BJP leader LK Advani and his party were responsible for "encouraging terrorism" in the country.
"I think you should ask this question to Digvijaya Singh," party spokesman Rashid Alvi told reporters when asked whether the Congress endorsed Singh's stand on the issue.
Addressing a rally in Saidnagar village in Rampur district in Uttar Pradesh, Singh had said, "BJP and LK Advani are responsible for encouraging terrorism in the country. They stoke communal hatred and blame the minority community."
Singh is in-charge of party affairs in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh.
Two days back, the AICC had disapproved of the letter written by Singh to Hazare, saying it was not required after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh wrote to the anti-corruption crusader.
In a snub to Singh, a senior Congress leader had remarked that what was important was "the issue and not individuals".
