Edits reverted: Digvijay Singh

The page on indian politician Digvijay Singh has a section titled "Controversies" where a paragraph was clearly POV pushing on a recent controversy. The original paragraph was as follows: In December 2010, Digvijay Singh facing a low ebb in his political carrer, made several comments in the Media claiming that Mumbai ATS Chief Mr.Hemanth Karkare called him hours before he was killed, talking to him about threats to his life. During the same time US Wikileaks cables disclosed the views of US Ambassador about Congress party "playing religious politics" and "crass political opportunism” in plating doubts regarding Mr.Karkare's murder by Pakistani terrorits. [1]


The language used clearly gives the POV of one side, and that is that of the BJP, the principal opposition party ("facing a low ebb in his polical career"?? Based on whom?).

I had edited it to a more neutral language, while still retaining the original references in full and adding new references. The aim is to give both sides of the story and not to push one POV.

New entry made by me: In December 2010, Digvijay Singh gave several interviews in the Media claiming that Mumbai ATS Chief Mr.Hemanth Karkare called him hours before he was killed, talking to him about threats to his (Karkare's) life from Hindu extremist groups. Hemanth Karkare in his role as chief of the Mumbai ATS had found incriminating evidence implicating several individuals with known RSS links and was facing a barrage of attacks including from right-wing politicians like Lal Krishna Advani who publicly called Karkare a "desh-drohi" (traitor). During the same time US Wikileaks cables quoted cables sent by the US Ambassador about Congress party "playing religious politics" and "crass political opportunism” in plating doubts regarding Mr.Karkare's murder by Pakistani terrorits. [2]. Coming on the eve of the WikiLeaks cables, this caused a lot of heat in the media. Digvijay repeated the allegations in his address to the Congress plenary session saying that the right-wing extremism of the kind perpetrated by the RSS and SIMI represented a grave threat to national unity. Equating the RSS to the Nazi's he accused the RSS of being involved in a number of terrorist strikes across the country. Further in the same speech, he demanded a CBI enquiry into the mysterious murder of Sunil Joshi, an RSS activist accused of being involved in the Ajmer dargah blasts, alleging that Joshi was murdered because "he knew too much" [3] [4].


Please revert the changes as I believe these may have been deleted in error.

Hey, no problem. :-)-- NYMFan69-86 ( talk) 05:14, 29 December 2010 (UTC) reply

Regarding this deleted article, you reverted an editor who blanked the article. In this particular case, the author who blanked the article was the original author. Instead of reverting and warning him, you should tag the blanked article with {{ db-blanked}}. It is a pretty common thing for new editors who get their first article tagged for speedy deletion to just blank out the entire article without comment. -- Gogo Dodo ( talk)

ok thanks for letting me know
