The BJP has lodged a formal complaint with both the Election Commission and the Mumbai police, urging action against Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut for his recent remarks allegedly suggesting the burial of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Maharashtra, akin to Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.
According to the BJP, such statements pose a direct threat to the Prime Minister's life and have the potential to incite communal discord.
The party emphasised that during a public rally in Ahmednagar, Raut made comments drawing a parallel between Modi and Aurangzeb, which they deemed inflammatory and disruptive to the peaceful conduct of the election campaign.
In their complaint to the Election Commission, the BJP highlighted the gravity of Raut's remarks, stressing the need for appropriate action to be taken to prevent any recurrence of such provocative language. The party emphasised the importance of maintaining harmony and respect for democratic processes during the election period.
The BJP's complaint underscores the seriousness with which they view Raut's comments and their commitment to upholding the safety and security of the Prime Minister.
They called upon the Election Commission to ensure that individuals refrain from making inflammatory statements that could jeopardise the electoral process and endanger the lives of political leaders.
Overall, the BJP's actions reflect their determination to address any perceived threats to the Prime Minister and to uphold the integrity of the democratic process, particularly during the sensitive period of election campaigning.
