MORIGAON, India: A sedition case was Wednesday filed against Congress president Rahul Gandhi in Assam’s Morigaon district for allegedly revering Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar by suffixing honorific “ji” to his name.
RTI activist Raju Mahanta filed the complaint, contending that the Congress chief has shown his “anti-India stance by addressing a ‘terrorist’ with a ‘ji'”, Pradip Nath, the officer-in-charge of Morigaon police station, Indian media reported.
An FIR has been registered in the case and police are investigating the matter, Nath added.
At a meeting of Congress workers in New Delhi on Monday, Gandhi had attacked the BJP, saying, “These people with 56-inch chest, you would recall, in their previous government, the current National Security Advisor Ajit Doval went in an aircraft with Masood Azhar ji and handed over Masood Azhar there in Kandahar.”
