It is alleged that Rawal took a dig at Congress by Saying that instead of talking about Modi's marital status, Congress should tell people about how they ruined the country.  

“To make his point, Rawal used a very derogatory Gujarati proverb in his speech. He also went on accusing Congress leaders without any evidence in very defamatory and provocative language, which is a clear violation of Section 123 of the RP Act,” Balar said.

“To stop him from spreading such hatred among the masses, we asked the EC to restrain Rawal from addressing any more public rallies or canvassing until elections end,” Balar said.
