CNN-IBN

New Delhi: AICC General Secretary Digvijaya Singh on Sunday justified the Delhi Police action at the Ramlila Maidan to crackdown on Baba Ramdev and his supporters late on Saturday night.

"Permission was given for the yoga shivir, but he started a hunger strike, which is against the rules. Therefore, the police took action," he said.

Calling Baba Ramdev a 'thug', Digvijaya Singh said, "Baba Ramdev has been duping people for ages and now he wanted to fool the government."

He also said the action was justified and that the government can't allow people like Ramdev cannot be allowed to run riot in the capital.

Digvijaya Singh also accused Baba Ramdev of playing politics and inciting people.

"Ramdev was dealt with in the way a crook deserves to be dealt with," Digvijaya Singh said.
