A Divided Congress in Madhya Pradesh Unites to Back MLA Booked in Suicide Case

News 18  

The factionalism in the Madhya Pradesh unit of the Congress is an open secret, observers say, but the registration of a first information report by police against a key legislator of the party and former minister in the Kamal Nath government has prompted senior leaders to step onto a common platform and throw their weight behind him. Gandhwani MLA Umang Singhar was booked by police this week in connection with the alleged suicide of a friend, Sonia Bharadwaj, who was found hanging inside the lawmaker’s residence in Shahpura area of Bhopal. Former chief minister Digvijaya Singh and several senior leaders met Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee chief Kamal Nath at his residence in Bhopal on Thursday and discussed strategy to oppose the “politically motivated” FIR on Singhar, nephew of late deputy CM Jamuna Devi. The FIR has been filed by the police on the basis of facts and evidences, said BJP state secretary Rajneesh Agrawal who asked the MPCC chief to clarify whether all such cases should be quashed or should Singhar get special treatment for being a former minister.
