Maharashtra New : FIR against Congress leader Sheikh Hussain in Nagpur for making objectionable remarks on PM Modi

Nagpur Police in Maharashtra has registered an FIR against former Nagpur Congress unit president Sheikh Sheikh for allegedly making objectionable remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. On Tuesday, a case under sections 294 and 504 of the IPC has been registered at Gittikhadan police station in Nagpur.

Former Nagpur Congress unit president Sheikh Hussain had allegedly made derogatory remarks criticizing Prime Minister Modi during the party's protest against the Enforcement Directorate for questioning Rahul Gandhi in connection with a money laundering probe involving the National Herald newspaper.

Congress leaders and workers demonstrated outside the ED office in Nagpur to show solidarity with Rahul Gandhi. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday re-joined the ED's probe for the third consecutive day in connection with the alleged money laundering case related to the National Herald newspaper. Police is probing every aspect of the matter.

Injunction notice has been served to NCP spokesperson and youth president Ravikant Varpe after he announced agitation against the BJP in the backdrop of PM's visit to Pune. In the notice, he and his organization have been warned to stay away from any such act in the city.

In a tweet on Monday, the NCP leader had said that the BJP office-bearers of Pimpri Chinchwad have put up a picture of Modi bigger than Lord Vitthal on the hoarding. I have been given notice under section 149. But I am firm on my stand that our Vitthal is older than the Prime Minister.
