BJP files complaint against Kanhaiya Kumar over his remarks on PM Modi, RSS

BJP leaders have demanded strict action, accusing Kanhaiya Kumar of spreading misinformation and attempting to provoke communal sentiments. The Congress has yet to issue a formal response.

The BJP has lodged a formal complaint against Congress leader Kanhaiya Kumar at a police station, alleging that he made objectionable remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).

According to media reports, the complaint states that Kumar referred to Modi as a "Sanghi" and called the RSS "terrorist," which the BJP has termed highly offensive and inflammatory. BJP's media cell president, Danish Iqbal, filed the complaint citing these two terms as unacceptable.

The party has demanded strict action, arguing that such comments not only violate the Model Code of Conduct but also aim to incite communal tension during the election period. Congress has yet to respond officially to the allegations.

Speaking to reporters, Iqbal alleged that Kumar, whom he described as part of the "tukde tukde gang," made deeply objectionable remarks during the interview aired on April 11. "The kind of language he used against the Prime Minister, the RSS, and its ideology is not only unacceptable but also inflammatory," he said, demanding that police register an FIR and initiate legal action.

The development adds to the political tension in the state ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, with BJP leaders accusing the Congress of encouraging divisive rhetoric. No response has yet been issued by Kanhaiya Kumar or the Congress party.
