Ramdev behind shoe-hurling act on Rahul Gandhi: Digvijay Singh

Lucknow, Jan 24 (ANI): Blaming yoga guru Baba Ramdev for the shoe attack on Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi at a rally in Dehradun, Senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh said the former is aiding such elements to create unnecessary disruptions while facing trials for holding into unaccountable money.

"All such incidents are spearheaded by Baba Ramdev. He is a great cheat and has taken commission for converting people's black money into white. There are investigations going on against his unaccounted money by leading federal agencies like the Enforcement Directorate," Singh told media here.

"He has also received a notice of almost Rs. 100 crore and has purchased an island in Scotland illegally, from where has he got all these money, why is he not bothered about that," Singh added.

Kuldeep Singh (26) hurled shoe towards Rahul Gandhi's dais as soon as he begun addressing his last poll rally at Vikasnagar in the outskirts of Dehradun on Monday.

The shoe-hurling incident on the Amethi MP came two days after a similar attack on Team Anna members in Uttarakhand. A slipper was hurled at Team Anna members during a public rally in Dehradun on Saturday. (ANI)
