He also attacked the BJP on Saturday and said some office-bearers of Bajrang Dal were caught spying for Pakistan intelligence agencies. "Some people, who were office bearers in Bajrang Dal and BJP were caught spying for the ISI.

Alok Kumar questions Digvijaya Singh
Vishwa Hindu Parishad Working President Alok Kumar slammed Digvijaya Singh on his 'ISI spies' remark. Alok Kumar added that the CBI should investigate the remarks made by the Congress leader. "If he has some information, the CBI should question him in the matter and when it is found that he has made some false statements, he should be punished. Such baseless, scandalous allegations spoil the atmosphere. He had earlier levelled allegation of saffron terror. He is doing the same thing again. I condemn such statements," he said.
