Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh faced backlash from social media users and BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain after he "saluted" Muslims on the "auspicious" occasion of Muharram on Tuesday.
Muharram is observed by Muslims with abstinence and prayers to mourn the martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain in the battle of Karbala in the 7th century.
It is considered one of the sacred months of the Islamic lunar calendar.
