Is BJP doing U-turn on its stand on Kashmir? asks Digvijay

In a series of tweets last evening, Digvijay said that after a meeting between Hafiz Saeed and Kashmiri politician Yasin Malik, BJP wanted to impound the latter's passport and arrest him, but the party was now going soft on Vaidik.

"Hafiz Saeed visits Yasin Malik BJP wanted to impound his passport and arrest him. But now soft pedals Vedik's conduct. Double standard?" he said in the tweet.

"Is BJP going soft on Pakistan and Terror and doing a U Turn on its Stated Stand on Kashmir?" Digvijay questioned in another tweet.

He said that Vaidik supports Independent Kashmir, while Union Minister Arun Jaitley calls it a diplomatic misadventure.

"Vedik supports Independent Kashmir. Arun Jaitley calls it Diplomatic Misadventure & Venkayya Naidu calls it a Non Issue. Is that BJP stand?" the Rajya Sabha member further tweeted.

The issue rocked both Houses of Parliament for the last two days with opposition raising questions over the meeting of Vaidik, known to be close to BJP supporter and yoga guru Ramdev.

The government had on Wednesday condemned the meeting and said it has sought a report from the Indian High Commission in Islamabad about whether they were aware of this.

Football aficionado Digvijay hopes ‘off-color’ Ronaldo regains his mojo in WC

Like all the football fans who were anticipating a cracking contest between two top-ranked teams in the World Cup, Digvijay was also left disappointed by the one-sided contest, which was comprehensively won 4-0 by world number two team Germany.

Digvijay praised the young German team and expressed hope that Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo, who he believes was off-colour during the game, regains his mojo soon in the upcoming games.

“Germany Portugal match was a damp squib. The young German Team looks good. Ronaldo was off colour. Hope he starts rolling now,” Digvijay tweeted on Tuesday.

Digvijay also expressed his delight at the news of Formula One legend Michael Schumacher coming out of Coma, expressing optimism that he takes up driving once again after getting fully fit.

“Schumacher comes out of Coma ! A great news indeed. May we see him at wheels again,” Digvijay wrote.

Digvijay’s affection for football is not a hidden secret as he has several times in the past tweeted about the ‘beautiful game’.

On the opening day of the FIFA 2014 World Cup, Digvijay took a sarcastic jibe at rival Bharatiya Janata Party’s famous pre-election slogan ‘Acche din aane wale hain’!

“FIFA World Cup begins today. KUCH DINON KE LIYE ACHHE DIN AANE WALE HEIN !” Digvijay tweeted on June 12.

Prior to this on June 6, Digvijay wrote on Twitter, “From IPL to French Open to World Cup Hockey to World Cup Football. ACHHE DIN HEIN hum jaise Sports Buffs ke liye.”
