New Delhi: Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh on Thursday hit out at the media for not questioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the horrific Badaun gang-rape case.
Expressing his comments on social networking website twiter, Singh said: “Media was often demanding reaction of Dr Manmohan Singh on rape issues but are silent on Modi`s silence on Budayun Rape.”
Police must also investigate all Social Media postings derogatory of Shivaji and Bala Saheb which led to this incident and act against them
