Senior Congress Leader and former I&B Minister and MP Manish Tewari has condemned the FIR against Rahul Gandhi, calling it an “blatant misuse of the provisions of criminal law.”
“It is a blatant misuse of provisions of criminal law,” Tewari told ANI. He also demanded that anyone who has insulted the architect of the Constitution should resign.
“The fundamental thing is that those who advertently or inadvertently insulted the founder of the Indian Constitution, Dr Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar, must resign,” he added.
The Chandigarh MP Tewari’s remarks comes after the Delhi police registered an FIR against Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi yesterday, in connection with an alleged scuffle that took place at Parliament premises.
Tensions erupted when members of the opposition and the ruling BJP-led NDA held separate protests, resulting in a face-off. Senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge alleged that he was pushed, and two BJP members were injured during the incident.
