An FIR has been registered against Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu in connection with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s comments about the situation of Sikhs in India during his visit to the United States. The FIR was filed based on a complaint from an official of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee. According to police, the case has been registered under sections 353(2), 192, and 196 of the Indian Penal Code.
This development follows a police complaint filed by the Congress party on Wednesday against four leaders from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Shiv Sena, including Union Minister Bittu. Congress treasurer Ajay Maken lodged the complaint at the Tughlaq Road police station in Delhi, demanding an FIR be registered against these leaders for their remarks.
The complaint highlights the tensions surrounding Gandhi’s statements abroad, which have sparked a political debate between the Congress and BJP. The Congress has taken a strong stance against the remarks made by these leaders, resulting in legal action. This case adds to the ongoing political friction between the two major parties.
