Driven out of home by sons, complains Arjun Singh's wife
Bhopal, June 19: The widow of former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and Union Minister Arjun Singh on Tuesday accused her sons Ajay and Abhimanyu Singh of forcing her out of home by violence.
Ajay Singh, who is the Leader of Opposition in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly, was unavailable for comment.
In a plea filed in the district court here, Saroj Singh said: "My sons Ajay Singh and Abhimanyu Singh resorted to domestic violence to drive me out of my home and have refused to provide me any support."
She has sought the court ensure her rights.
In a press release, Saroj Singh said that her late husband had followed the party's principles all his life and always helped women and the helpless, "but ignoring these principles, Ajay Singh has evicted me from the house, due to which I have to live in various places".
Arjun Singh owned a palatial house here named "Kerva Kothi" and Saroj Singh has asked the court to take away its possession from Ajay Singh.

New Delhi (PTI): Disgracing anyone in the name of comedy is in bad taste, actor and MP Kangana Ranaut said on Tuesday as she weighed in on the ongoing controversy over comic Kunal Kamra's remarks on Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's political career.
Ranaut, a BJP MP from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi, was speaking to reporters outside the Parliament here.
"You may be anyone but disrespecting anyone (is not good). You are disgracing someone in the name of comedy, you are disregarding what all he has done. Shinde ji used to drive an auto rickshaw a while ago.
"Today he has made it till here on his own. What are his (Kamra's) credentials? Who are these people who haven't done anything in life? If they can write, I'd say write literature or comedy scenes in films. Abusing in the name of comedy, mocking our scriptures in the name of comedy, making fun of people, mothers and sisters (is not right)," Ranaut said.
Kamra recently performed a parody of a popular Hindi song from the film "Dil Toh Pagal Hai," apparently referring to Shinde as a "gaddar" (traitor). He also made jokes about recent political developments in Maharashtra, including the Shiv Sena and NCP splits.
On Monday, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis commented on the row, saying Kamra should apologise for his "low level comedy".
Echoing Fadnavis' remarks, Ranaut said: "These people call themselves influencers. Where is society headed for this 2-minute fame? We need to think about this. Like Fadnavis ji said we have to take some responsibility for what we say. There could be repercussions. Would you stand by that when you are questioned legally?"
On Sunday night, Shiv Sena members damaged Habitat Studio in Mumbai's Khar area, where Kamra's show took place, as well as a hotel in whose premises the club is located.
The actor also said it was wrong to compare the incident at the comedy club with the demolition of her Mumbai office by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) back in the 2020 incident following her spat with the Shiv Sena-led Maharashtra government.
"(Demolition of my office) was a completely illegal activity, this is absolutely legal. They can't be clubbed together," she added.
