RAIPUR: A day after the RSS chief asked if extremists from across the border were among those who committed violence in Manipur, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Wednesday alleged that there is a contradiction in words of Mohan Bhagwat and of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Baghel said the BJP government asserts that borders are secure under its rule while the RSS chief was pointing to role of external elements.

"On one hand, there is our Vishwaguru who says that Indian borders are safe. On the other hand, our Mohan Bhagwat says that external forces are involved in it. There are contradictions in the words of Modi ji and Bhagwat," Baghel told reporters.

Mohan Bhagwat, while addressing the annual Dussehra rally in Nagpur on Tuesday, hinted at the role of external elements behind the unrest in Manipur.

‘If we look at the current situation of Manipur, this fact becomes obvious. How did this mutual discord and hatred suddenly erupt in Manipur, which had been peaceful for almost a decade? Were there extremists from across the border also among those who committed violence?’ Bhagwat asked. (ANI)
