Congress leader and Rural Development & Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge and party spokesperson Ramesh Babu, on Monday, complained to the police seeking action against BJP leaders for their illegal offences against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi with the intention to incite enmity and hatred in the society.
In a complaint to the High Grounds police here, Mr. Kharge and Mr. Babu said in the video shared by the BJP IT cell in-charge Amit Malviya, Mr. Gandhi has been made a target of a malicious and false 3D animated video, and it was endorsed by BJP president J.P. Nadda and senior leader Arun Sood. The video was circulated on June 17, 2023 on Mr. Malviya’s Twitter handle, with a clear and malicious intent of not only tarnishing Mr. Gandhi’s and Congress reputation, but to instigate communal discord and misrepresent the party and its leaders’ persona, they said.
The Congress leaders alleged that “’it is pertinent to mention that the video employs mimicry to misrepresent Mr. Gandhi and the INC’s views and projects the party as well as the leaders as anti-national elements. It features altered versions of Mr. Gandhi’s speeches, propagating false narratives.”
