Uma Bharti says she pities Digvijay Singh for his remarks on Karkare

Former Madhya Pradesh chief minister, Uma Bharti today said that she pitied Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh for his statement on slain Maharashtra ATS Chief Hemant Karkare.

Bharti told reporters at her residence that she failed to see the logic behind Singh's statement.

She said that the Congress had distanced itself from Singh's statement and even Karkare's wife had criticised it.

Bharti said Singh was in a very pitiable condition right now because of which he had become frustrated.

She said that she knew Singh since she was eight and added that the two respected each other although they have different political views.
