Bhopal, Mar 18: Rebel Congress MLAs from Madhya Pradesh who are staying at a resort in Bengaluru, on Wednesday said they went there voluntarily.
Issuing video messages, the rebels said they didn't want to meet senior party leader Digvijay Singh who was briefly detained near the resort this morning.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath and other leaders of the Congress have been claiming that the rebel MLAs were being held in captivity by BJP.
High drama unfolded this morning near the resort, as Singh, a two-time Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister, staged a protest accusing the police of not allowing him to meet the legislators, following which he was detained briefly and released later.
Singh, along with Karnataka Congress chief D K Shivakumar, is meeting police top brass seeking opportunity to meet the MLAs.
Singh hit out at Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, accusing them of trying to block their efforts to get in touch with the legislators.
"We have come here voluntarily on our own wish; we have got to know from some people that a few leaders from Madhya Pradesh including Digvijay Singh and some MLAs have come here. We don't want to talk to anybody," Congress rebel MLA from Sumawali Aidal Singh Kansana said in a video message.
"We have tried enough to speak with every one for the last one year, when they did not hear us for one year, what they will hear us in one day? We want to say only this that we have come here as per our wish and go back as per our wish," he added.
Another rebel MLA Govind Singh Rajput too said they have come voluntarily and don't want to meet anybody.
"We got to know that Digvijay Singh has come with a few Ministers and leaders. Unnecessarily at the gate they are saying they want to meet us. When no MLA wants to meet him, they should not be doing this. All MLAs have sent in their resignation," he said in a video message.
Currently, 22 rebel MLAs are said to be camping in the city.
These videos were shared by former Congress leader Pankaj Chaturvedi, a close confidante of BJP leader JyotiradiyaScindia.
In a video message, Bisahulal Singh (Anuppur) said Digvijay Singh had fooled them for 40 years.
"My seniority was neglected. We recognised Digvijaya Singh as our leader for 40 years but he only fooled us. We have come here voluntarily," he said.
"Rahul Gandhi had told us that my name, along with Aidal Singh Kansana (Congress MLA from Sumawali), had figured in the list of state Cabinet but they were struck off due to nepotism," he added.
Pohri MLA Suresh Dhakad said they received information on Digvijay Singh's visit on Wednesday through television channels.
"The present crisis was caused due to Digvijay only. We don't want to meet him," he said.
Karera MLA Jasmant Singh Jatav also blamed Digvijay Singh for the plight of Congress in Madhya Pradesh.
Dimni MLA Girraj Singh said they all have already resigned.
The MLAs who have issued video messages also included Manoj Choudhary (Hatpipalya), Kamlesh Jatav (Ambah), Raghuraj Kansana (Ambah), Brijendra Singh (Mungaoli), Raksha Santram Sironiya (Bhander), Munnalal Goyal (Gwalior East), Rajyavardhan Singh (Badnawar), OPS Bhadoriya (Mehgaon), Ranvir Singh Jatav (Gohad) and Hardeep Singh Dang (Suwasara).
Former ministers Tulsi Silawat (Sanver), Mahendra Singh Sisodia (Bamori), Imarati Devi (Dabra), Pradyumn Singh Tomar (Gwalior), Govind Singh (Surkhi) and Prabhuram Choudhary (Sanchi) also issued videos.
The resignations of these six former ministers were accepted by Assembly Speaker NP Prajapati while those of 16 others are on hold.
The rebel Congress MLAs held a press conference on Tuesday and claimed that 20 more party MLAs want to join them. The rebels also said that they were thinking of crossing over to the BJP in the days to come.
The Congress-ruled Madhya Pradesh has been in a political turmoil since the MLAs resigned on March 10 following the suit of Scindia, who joined the BJP on March 11.

How do u all know them ?
Haleema you sold heaven and you purchased hell...
Islam teaches us 'A slave Muslim men is better for a Muslim girl than a rich kaafir . Same way a slave Muslim women is better for a Muslim men than a rich kaafira women'
There is no compulsion in religion of islam. We are free to follow any system but final decision with Allah, He will decide who followed his way or who are the loser. May Allah guide us to right path. Ameen
SEE HER FACE, CAN UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION,VIREN YOU ARE RIGHT BUT A SENTENCE IS WRONG SHE WENT FROM BRIGHTNESS TO DARKNESS.
I agree with Fathima's view. It was unfortunate that the girl in the name of love forgot the beauty of Islam.
There are many instances in Mangalore where Muslim girl married a Hindu boy and after a year boy converted to Islam. No wonder if this culminates the same way. Moreover u will find hundreds of famous personalities embracing Islam such as Tony Blair's sister Lauren booth, BBC journalist Yvonne Ridley and so on but u will not find vise versa. Keep hope and prayers and ignore barking kotians.
Let us pray for kotiyan brightness family !!....May Allah protect your family & children in future .... There is chance to convert !
Every Say Ameeen!
Kotiyan Nikk P---Tiye Yaa\\"\"\"\"\"n"

mr kotian do you know how many hindu men who married to muslim converted to islam and working here in dubai, first study about islam and later on u wil change your mind
mr kotian do you know how many hindu men married muslim converted to muslim again and working here in dubai study first about islam then you will also come to islam There is no caste system in islam like brahman harijan etc
No need to judge anybody. Only Allah knows whats the future and how their end will be. It may be good and wonderful than we expect. Better than our life may be, nobody knows. So keep hope . If possible pray for them and dont judge.
Viren @ its opposite its to dark from brightness and secondly its her parent to blame , they didnt teach her what is islam .
Viren chadi by name only we cant judge chadi,its should come through Heart.
Just wait for 3 to 4 month, he will leave her .
i like it ... i like it ... Jai sri ram ... as Viren bhai said ,.. inshallah it will happen soon .. too much of compression and male domination in islam... they treat women as property not as human being ... i heard that shivraj rejected haleema's fathers offer of crore rupees inexchange of his daughtor ... it means guy has not married this gal for money sake .. true love ... they must be protected as they might get attacked from Islamic thugs from coastal ...hahaha... this is just the begining ... there are lakhs of muslim women who want to escape from this sikka patte piece ful religion ...
We as an Indian should be united but look what always we see partitioned. no wonder how easily British invaded India.
I know some of them are happy seeing this news. And i admit it is because of your ignorance you are happy. Almighty has his own concept of human life n death. There are 4 categorised people.
1. Ones who r born muslim and dies as a muslim
2. Ones who r born muslim and dies as a non muslim.
3.Ones born as anon muslim and dies as a non muslim.
4.Ones born as a non muslim and dies as a muslim.
Last category people are the most successful people in this world and hereafter no doubt about it. 2nd category people are the ones destroying their own destiny and lands in great trouble hereafter. No one neither their life-partner nor their parents can save them from torments of hell fire.
May Allah make our death beautiful and grant us to die as a muslim.
May Allah guide her n all of us.
@ viren kotian
quran, islam never force anyone to covert to islam.. in quran Allah says tell the truth to them until they understand the truth
even after that they don't want to accept the islam its up to them.. its our responsibi
Thank you CD for this wonderful news.
And Yes, Viren we all are there with this brave woman. no terrorist can touch her.
Insha Allah more muslim girls will throw away their burkas and accept hinduism in future..
