NEW DELHI: Enough is enough seems to the new media strategy of the Congress as it is reflected in an FIR filed against BJP IT Cell national convenor Amit Malviya in connection with publishing “derogatory” posts against Rahul Gandhi and Congress leaders by the party’s Karnataka leader Ramesh Babu.

Earlier, the Congress used to ignore tweets and comments against its leaders but now it has decided to take on the BJP.  The BJP, which has practiced an aggressive social media policy to distort image of the opposition leaders including that of former Congress president Rahul Gandhi, is going to be challenged on facts.

The Karnataka Police have registered an FIR against BJP IT Cell national convenor Amit Malviya in connection with publishing “derogatory” posts against Rahul Gandhi and the Congress leaders.

The High Grounds police in Bengaluru have booked a case against him under Sections 153-A, 120-B, 505 (2), 34 of the IPC. Ramesh Babu, state Congress leader, had lodged a complaint in this regard.

The complaint was filed for releasing an animated video of Rahul Gandhi and claiming that the Congress is indulging in anti-national activities. “Rahul Gandhi is dangerous and playing an insidious game,”  Malviya had said in a tweet.

Reacting to the FIR, Priyank Kharge, state minister, said, “Whenever the BJP bears the brunt of law, they cry. They have a problem following the law of the land. I want to ask the BJP which part of the FIR has been filed with a mala fide intention. We have done it after taking legal opinion.”

Kharge alleged that BJP leader was promoting enmity between groups and spreading hatred in society. He also dismissed the BJP’s criticism that the complaint was politically motivated.
