BJP seeks stern action, lodges complaint with Civil Lines Police station, Raipur

After an uproar over using a distorted map of India in the official Twitter handle of the Chhattisgarh Congress party, BJP leaders filed a complaint with the Civil Lines police station here. Meanwhile, the Congress has regretted the mistake and withdrawn it.

Condemning the incident of using distorted map of India in the Twitter handle of Chhattisgarh Pradesh Congress Committee, Bharatiya Janata Party state president Dharamlal Kaushik sought stern action.

Kaushik said that Congress party which has divided the country is still keeping its ideology alive and the live example is the distorted Map of India used in the official Twitter handle. One part of Kashmir has been removed. He termed it is a criminal act and purely falls under sedition.

He alleged that the fire of division is spreading from Kashmir to JNU and other areas of country due to which anti-national slogans are being raised. It is due to policy of appeasement being followed by the oldest party of country. The AICC president has also been backing such elements, he said.

He said BJP has lodged a complaint with police station and party demand that those responsible for it should be booked under the relevant sections, so that it is not repeated again.

Station House Incharge, Civil Lines Yadu Mani Sidar when contacted confirmed that BJP party leaders have registered a complaint regarding the distorted map of India in which some part of the Kashmir has been left out. It has been in official Twitter handle of state Congress party.

He further said that the complaint has been forwarded to cyber cell and further investigating.

Congress in a statement in a tweet has said that we regret that incorrect map was uploaded in the twitter handle. We strongly believe in integrity and unity of the country. The said objectionable tweet has been removed from the handle.
