BJP's IT handles have been spewing venom: Kharge
This was not the first time when Congress filed complaints against BJP for spreading "misinformation" about Gandhi. Earlier last week, Kharge accused the BJP of spewing venom and spreading communal disharmony in the country and lodged a complaint against BJP National President J P Nadda and others for malicious posts against Rahul Gandhi. The Karnataka minister for Information Technology and Biotechnology on Monday lodged a police complaint against Nadda, the BJP IT Cell chief Amit Malviya and the party's Chandigarh president Arun Sood for releasing a "malicious" animated video of Rahul Gandhi.
"For a long time, BJP's IT handles have been spewing venom, spreading communal disharmony and spreading false news. So it's high time that these people need to be reigned in, including their IT head," Kharge said.
