Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) leader Sanjay Raut on Sunday said he would speak to Congress leader Digvijaya Singh to understand the change in his opinion after the former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister’s (CM’s) remarks praising the organisational strength of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) sparked speculation about differences within his party, news agency ANI reported.

Calling Digvijaya Singh a friend, Raut said, “The fact is, the RSS never participated in the country’s freedom struggle. The RSS never hoisted or displayed the national tricolour flag at its offices for 50 years. The RSS is at the forefront of creating religious tension in the country. I have seen that Digvijaya Singh ji has launched a very strong attack on the RSS in Parliament. So what happened all of a sudden? He is a friend of mine, and I will understand from him how this change in his opinion came about.”
