Lucknow, Jan 24: Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Tuesday has held yoga guru Baba Ramdev responsible for the shoe attack on Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi at a rally in poll bound Uttarakhand's Vikasnagar area on Monday.

"All such incidents are spearheaded by Baba Ramdev. He is a great cheat and has taken commission for converting people's black money into white,’’ Singh said.

Blaming Baba Ramdev for the incident, Singh said that the yoga guru was supporting such act to create unnecessary disruption while facing trials for holding unaccountable money. "He has also received a notice of almost Rs. 100 crore and has purchased an island in Scotland illegally, from where has he got all these money, why is he not bothered about that?" Singh questioned.

Incidentally, Ramdev had blamed Congress for the ink attack on him at a press conference on black money. Earlier on Saturday, a man had allegedly tried to throw a shoe at Team Anna while they were addressing a rally at Uttarakhand's Dehradun city. Reacting to the incident, Rahul Gandhi had said such incidents has become a fashion and such incidents would not deter him.
