The memorandum claimed that Gandhi's allegations against the BJP are “false and baseless” and also highly inflammatory, inciting and likely to induce communal feelings.
Citing excerpts from Gandhi's speech made in Churu in Rajasthan last week, the Opposition party said its tone and tenor was to incite communal hatred and tension between Hindu-Sikhs and Hindu-Muslims and make an appeal for votes in the favour of Congress on the basis of communal sentiments.
“A conscious attempt has been made by Gandhi to mislead the public by trying to discredit the BJP by making absolutely false, baseless, unfounded allegations against the BJP and its leaders, which is against the very spirit of the Model Code of Conduct as well as healthy democratic practices,” it said.
