Cong accuses Amit Shah of making 'hateful, provocative statements' in poll-bound Karnataka, FIR filed
Bengaluru, April 27: Congress on Thursday accused Union Home Minister Amit Shah of making hateful and provocative statements in poll-bound Karnataka and filed a complaint against the BJP leader.
Party leaders Randeep Singh Surjewala, Dr Parmeshwar and Chief of Karnataka Congress DK Shivakumar on Thursday lodged a police complaint against Shah and other BJP leaders.
According to the complaint filed at Bengaluru's High Grounds police station, Amit Shah allegedly made provocative statements, promoting enmity and hatred and maligned opposition during his recent rallies in the poll-bound Karnataka.
"Union Home Minister has said that if Congress comes to power then there will be communal riots. How can he say this? We have filed a complaint with the Election Commission of India on this," DK Shivakumar stated after filing the complaint.

The FIR mentions the name of Amit Shah, concerned BJP leaders and the organisers of the rally at Vijaypura and other locations in Karnataka on 25th April.
"Speech given by Amit Shah was shockingly riddled with flagrantly false statements aimed at tarnishing the image of Indian National Congress by levelling false and unfounded allegations, with a clear objective of trying to create an atmosphere of communal disharmony amongst the gathered crowd and the individuals viewing it on other media platforms," the complaint stated.
The FIR also mentions the video link of the alleged hate speech.
