Congress files FIR against Amit Shah over riots remark

Senior Congress leaders Randeep Singh Surjewala, Dr Parmeshwar, and DK Shivakumar have filed a police complaint in Bengaluru’s High Grounds Police Station against Union Home Minister and BJP leader Amit Shah and organisers of a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) rally for making provocative statements, promoting enmity and hatred and maligning opposition. Citing Shah’s riots if Congress comes to power remark, Karnataka Congress chief DK Shivakumar said, “Action should be taken according to law. If a common man had done it, he would have been arrested. The Union Home Minister cannot say if Congress comes to power there will be communal riots. He’s the home minister, not the star campaigner of the BJP.”
