An FIR has been filed against RJD leader and former Bihar deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav for allegedly posting an ‘objectionable’ post about Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Milind Narote, BJP MLA from Gadchiroli, Maharashtra, filed a complaint against Tejashwi Yadav, following which an FIR was filed at Gadchiroli police station, a senior police official said on Friday, PTI reported.
In his complaint, Narote alleged that Yadav posted an objectionable remark against PM Modi on X ahead of his visit to Gaya.
He said the posts called PM Modi a ‘liar’ and accused him of making false promises. The complaint also stated that one post shared a song mocking the Prime Minister, saying he ‘lies morning and evening.’
“Such propaganda has caused resentment among sensible citizens of Gadchiroli and is aimed at disturbing peace and harmony,” the MLA said in his statement, according to a report by The Free Press Journal.
A first information report (FIR) has been registered under sections 196 (promoting enmity between different groups), 356 (defamation), 352 (intentional insult with intent to provoke a breach of peace) and 353 (statements that cause public mischief) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the official added, PTI reported.
