Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh sparked a row after he claimed in a clubhouse chat with a Pakistani journalist that the party may reconsider abrogation of Article 370 if it comes to power at the Centre. As BJP leaders released the audio recording with the claim that Congress seems to be toeing the Pakistani line on Jammu and Kashmir, Congress tried its best to sidestep the issue. Digvijaya's controversial statement has handed the BJP an issue with which it can divert attention from Congress's relentless attack on the Covid situation.
