The Congress on Wednesday filed a police complaint against three Bharatiya Janata Party leaders and a Shiv Sena MLA for issuing threats to Rahul Gandhi.
“There should be a first information report against these four,” Congress Treasurer Ajay Maken said after filing the complaint at Tughlak Road Police Station in Delhi.
One of the leaders named in the complaint is Tarvinder Singh Marwah, who allegedly said at a BJP event on September 11: “You [Rahul Gandhi] better behave, or you will meet the same fate as your grandmother [Indira Gandhi].”
Former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated on October 31, 1984, at her residence the capital. She was shot dead by her Sikh bodyguards in the aftermath of Operation Blue Star, which involved military action inside Amristar’s Golden Temple in June that year.
The Congress said this was an “openly issued assassination threat against Rahul Gandhi” and alleged “a well-planned criminal conspiracy…to commit the above acts”.
The complaint also mentions Sanjay Gaikwad, the MLA from Maharashtra’s Buldhana, who on Monday “announced a bounty of Rs 11 lakh for anyone who will cut the tongue of Rahul Gandhi”.
