BJP files complaint against Rahul Gandhi

The BJP has officially lodged a complaint with Election Commission against Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi for violating the Model Code of Conduct through his “hate speech” and inciting communal tension.

BJP leaders met EC on Monday morning and handed the complaint letter on Rahul Gandhi’s speeches during his campaigns in Rajasthan and MP.  

“Have filed complaint against his (Rahul Gandhi) comments, sure EC will take appropriate action,” BJP spokesperson Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said.

“We have submitted a representation to the EC on Rahul Gandhi’s baseless statement. We have demanded that the EC takes action against Rahul Gandhi and the Congress for violating poll rules,” he added.

“It is respectfully prayed that appropriate action may kindly be taken against the Indian National Congress and Rahul Gandhi, Vice President, Indian National Congress for violating the Model Code of Conduct and the recognition of Indian National Congress as a National Party may kindly be withdrawn immediately,” the letter said.

“A conscious attempt has been made by Gandhi to mislead the public by trying to discredit the BJP by making absolutely false, baseless, unfounded allegations against the BJP and its leaders, which is against the very spirit of the Model Code of Conduct as well as healthy democratic practices,” the letter added.

While speaking at a rally in Indore last week, Rahul Gandhi had claimed that Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI had contacted few Muslim boys who were victims of recent Muzaffarnagar riots.

Later both UP government and IB rejected Rahul’s claim.
