Bengaluru, April 24 (NationPress) The Karnataka Police have filed an FIR against the state BJP IT Cell on Thursday regarding a social media post that implies that whenever the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, is overseas, terror attacks take place in Kashmir.
The complaint was lodged by C.M. Dhananjaya, who serves as the President of the Legal and Human Rights Cell of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC). The FIR was registered at the High Grounds Police Station in Bengaluru.
The BJP IT Cell post claimed, “Every time Rahul Gandhi leaves the country, something sinister unfolds back home.” This post, which included a picture of Rahul Gandhi, was shared in relation to the recent Pahalgam attack.
The complaint contends that the post could disrupt societal harmony and incite animosity among communities. It also alleges that the statement aimed to tarnish the reputation of Rahul Gandhi and is founded on misleading information.
The complainant has urged for action against the Chief of the BJP Karnataka IT Cell and others accountable for the post.
In response to this development, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar remarked on Thursday in Male Mahadeshwara Hill, Chamarajanagar district, “We disapprove of utilizing national security matters for political gain. Some individuals are attempting to politicize this. All actions must conform to the laws of our land. For us, national unity is paramount.”
When queried about the FIR linked to the BJP IT Cell’s claim that terrorist activities occur whenever Rahul Gandhi travels abroad, he stated, “In such sensitive circumstances, we must provide support to the Central government. Maintaining peace in the nation is our priority.”
Addressing the emerging narratives suggesting that the Muslim community in the country opposes Hindus, he emphasized, “We must safeguard peace. No one should use these issues for political purposes. The protection of all Indians is what truly matters.”
