BJP vice president Prabhat Jha has sent a legal notice to Congress president Rahul Gandhi for calling party president Amit Shah a ‘murder accused’ during an election rally in Madhya Pradesh recently.
Speaking to the media, Jha quoted reports on the said statement from Gandhi saying it was directed at the national president of a party which has 11 crore members and has one of the members as the Prime Minister.
“Shah hatya ke aropi aur shahzada jadugar,” Jha read header of one of the media reports quoting Gandhi’s remarks. He quoted the news further saying Gandhi was quoted as saying that BJP president Amit Shah was accused of a murder.
“We wish to know from Rahulji whether he considered him a court as the court has said he (Shah) is not an accused and CBI also said this so how he (Gandhi) was saying this,” said the senior BJP leader.
As vice president of the party, I was hurt by Gandhi’s remarks and I ask him to either tender an apology within three days or face defamation suit in the court, said Jha.
He also pointed out that Gandhi had recently apologised in connection with chowkidar jibe.
Jha has sent another legal notice to Gandhi over his remark on tribals. Jha quoted Gandhi as saying that central government has passed an act which allows the tribal to be shot. “Narendra Modi Sarkar ne ek kanun pass kiya hai jisme ek line Jodi gayi hai ki adivasiyon ko goli mari ja sakegi,” Jha quoted Gandhi as saying.
