The police complaints by the Assam BJP MLAs have accused the Telangana CM of making “anti-national” remarks by seeking proof of surgical strikes that the Indian Army conducted inside Pakistan.
“He (Rao) through his statement passed comments not only against the Indian Army but also against the Government of India in a very derogatory and demeaning manner and such an act on his part is nothing but an act against the Government of India as well as the Indian Army,” the complaints read.
It added: “His act in questioning the action of the Indian Army against an enemy nation is clearly prejudicial to national integration and against the sovereignty of our country.”
