FIR against Navjot Singh Sidhu for violating poll code by making communal remark

Hours after Navjot Singh Sidhu appealed Muslims voters to vote for Congress, an FIR has been filed against the Punjab Minister. While speaking at a poll campaign in Bihar’s Katihar, Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu urged Muslims to vote en bloc for Congress.

The case has been registered on charges of violating the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) during his speech at a rally earlier today. In an election rally in Bihar’s Katihar, Navjot Sidhu appealed to Muslim voters to vote for the Congress candidates.

"My Muslim brothers and sisters, you must vote for the Congress. If you show solidarity, nobody can defeat your candidate.  You are not a minority but a majority," Sidhu said.

“Main aapko chetavni dene aya hun Muslim bhaiyon,ye baant rahe hain apko,ye yahan Owaisi jaise logon ko la ke,ek nai party khadi kar aap logon ka vote baant ke jitna chahte hain.Agar tum log ikathe hue,ekjut hoke vote dala to Modi sulat jaega,' Sidhu said.
