The Karnataka State Women’s Commission has registered a suo motu case against the former MLA and BJP leader Sanjay Patil for his remarks against Minister Lakshmi Hebbalkar.
In a BJP campaign meeting in Hindalga in Belagavi district on Saturday, Mr. Patil said that Ms. Hebbalkar is going to lose sleep over the huge rally organised by his party in her constituency and that “she will need an additional peg along with sleeping pills to go to bed”.
A notice has been issued to Mr. Patil seeking a reply and the reason why action should not be initiated against him.
