HM Mishra hints at legal action

In a tweet posted in response to Singh's tweet, Chouhan said that the said photo was not from Madhya Pradesh while calling Singh's tweet 'a conspiracy to spread religious hysteria in the state and inflict riots, which will not be tolerated.'

Bhopal: A Twitter war broke out after former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijay Singh took to Twitter to post a photograph of a man hoisting a saffron flag at a religious place, blaming the current CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan for such activities being allowed in the state. Though the tweet has now been removed from Singh's official account, CM Chouhan denied the authenticity of the photograph.

In a tweet posted in response to Singh's tweet, Chouhan said that the photo was not from Madhya Pradesh while calling Singh's tweet "a conspiracy to spread religious hysteria in the state and inflict riots, which will not be tolerated." He also reiterated the same while speaking to the media after the meeting. Home Minister Narottam Mishra has also indicated legal action against Singh in the matter.

  • मुख्यमंत्री श्री @ChouhanShivraj ने कहा कि यह प्रदेश में धार्मिक उन्माद फैलाने का षड्यंत्र है। प्रदेश को दंगों की आग में झोंकने की साजिश है। प्रदेश में यदि कोई दंगा फैलाने की साजिश करेगा तो ,वह कोई भी हो, मैं बर्दाश्त नहीं करूंगा।

  • .@digvijaya_28 जी भ्रम फैलाकर सांप्रदायिक तनाव को हवा देना चाहते हैं। अपने #SocialMedia अकाउंट पर मस्जिद में झंडा फहराने की जो तस्वीर उन्होंने पोस्ट की है, वो #MadhyaPradesh की नहीं है।
