The FIR was lodged on Saturday at the Pan Bazar police station by one Monjit Chetia under sections 152 and 197 (1)d of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for alleged acts endangering sovereignty, unity and integrity of the country. In his complaint, Chetia alleged that the remark was a threat to public order and national security. By mentioning that they (the Congress) were fighting the Indian State, Gandhi consciously incited subversive activities and rebellion among the public.“This statement by Rahul Gandhi attempts to delegitimize the authority of the state and portray it as a hostile entity. Such remarks create a dangerous narrative, which could incite unrest and foster separatist sentiments,” Chetia alleged in his complaint.Show more
