Delhi Court Dismisses Plea Seeking FIR Against Mallikarjun Kharge Over Remarks on PM Modi

A Delhi court has dismissed a plea seeking the registration of an FIR against Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge for his alleged remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The complaint was that the statements made by Kharge during an election campaign were defamatory and hurt the sentiments of BJP supporters. However, the court ruled that the remarks did not warrant criminal proceedings and declined to direct the police to file an FIR.

This decision has invited reactions from both the political camps where Congress is welcoming the ruling and BJP leaders feel disappointed. In this case, it reveals that there are political tussles and sensitivities relating to public speeches in the course of election campaigns.
