If you're brave, file case against me: Digvijaya dares PM
Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh today challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to file a case against him over allegations from BJP leaders that he was an anti-national and a Pakistan supporter. In a series of tweets, Singh, who stirred controversy yesterday by referring to the Pulwama terror attack as an "accident", dared the PM and said, "If you're brave, file a case against me."
Why calling attacks a 'durghatana' made me anti-national, asks Singh
In his tweets, Singh questioned why calling the attacks a "durghatana" prompted PM Modi and three Union ministers to term him anti-national. "The tweet over which you and your ministers called me a Pakistan supporter and an anti-national was posted from Delhi where police are under the Union government. If you are brave, file a case against me," he tweeted.

'Does Modiji hold anyone responsible for intelligence failure in Pulwama-attack?'
Singh said that PM Modi and his ministers leveled several allegations against him and even expressed their intentions of filing a sedition case. "What action has Modi taken over intelligence failure in the Pulwama terror attack? Does Modiji hold anyone responsible for this or not? Has he asked for a clarification from the NSA, IB or the RAW chief?" he asked.

Suicide bomber attack in Pulwama killed 14 CRPF jawans
Singh also re-tweeted a video that shows Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya describing the terrorist attack as a "big accident." "Would Modi ji and his ministers like to say something about Maurya ji?" he asked. Forty CRPF jawans were killed on February 14 after a Jaish-e-Mohammed suicide bomber rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into a paramilitary bus in Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir.
