New Delh: AICC basic secretary (organisation) KC Venugopal on Sunday composed to Union home minister Amit Shah challenging a Kerala BJP representative Printu Mahadev supposedly positioning a risk to the life of Rahul Gandhi on Saturday (rept Saturday) throughout a television argument and required legal action versus him.
“In a brazen act of incitement of violence, Mr Mahadev openly declared that ‘Rahul Gandhi will be shot in the chest’. This is neither a slip of tongue, nor careless hyperbole. It is a cold, calculated and chilling death threat against the leader of Opposition and one of India’s foremost political leaders. That such poisonous words are uttered by an official spokesperson of the ruling party not only places the life of Rahul Gandhi in immediate danger, but also undermines the Constitution, the rule of law, the basis security assurances owes to every citizen let alone the leader of Opposition”Venugopal stated in his letter to Shah.
