An FIR was filed against West Bengal Minister Akhil Giri for his jibe at President Droupadi Murmu, at Paradip Model Police Station on Monday.
Giri during a public meeting at Nandigram on November 10 gave insulting remarks on President Murmu concerning her colour triggering a row across the country.
Advocate Mihir Kumar Patra lodged the FIR stating thar Giri gave the derogative remarks intentionally due to political hostility with BJP.
The speech is not only insulting for the high office of Murmu but for the women community as a whole and the people belonging to Scheduled Trible, in particular, Patra stated.
He sought action against Giri U/s 124 and 124(A), 509, 153, 153(A) of the India Penal Code and under SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
