Senior Congress leader and AICC general secretary Digvijay Singh on Wednesday slammed home minister P Chidambaram, saying he treated Naxalism as a "law and order problem", leading the leadership to frown upon the washing of policy linen in public on the sensitive issue.
In a newspaper article on Wednesday, the former Madhya Pradesh chief minister called Chidambaram "rigid" and ridden with "intellectual arrogance" as he railed against what he called the "narrow sectarian" approach of the home minister to Maoist insurgency.
While Singh has been disapproving of Chidambaram's strong campaign against Naxalites, his comments sent Congress into a tizzy, in the aftermath of the Dantewada massacre. "Congress is a democratic party. Everyone has a right to express his views but such views should be expressed in party fora only," Janardan Dwivedi, Singh's colleague and the party's chief spokesperson.
