FIR against Amit Shah for his ’riots if Congress comes to power’ remark

Mangalore Today News Network

Bengaluru, April 27, 2023: Senior Congress leaders Randeep Singh Surjewala, Dr Parmeshwar, and DK Shivakumar have filed a police complaint in Bengaluru’s High Grounds Police Station against Union Home Minister and BJP leader Amit Shah and organisers of a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) rally for making provocative statements, promoting enmity and hatred and maligning opposition.

 

Citing Shah’s riots if Congress comes to power remark, Karnataka Congress chief DK Shivakumar said, “Action should be taken according to law. If a common man had done it, he would have been arrested. The Union Home Minister cannot say if Congress comes to power there will be communal riots. He’s the home minister, not the star campaigner of the BJP.”

“More than 20 cases have been filed against me for nothing. The Indian National Congress has already filed a complaint with the Election Commission. After filing the complaint there, we came here,” he added.

Confirming the move, senior Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala said, “We have come to the High Grounds PS with an important issue. We have filed an FIR against Union Home Minister Amit Shah.”
