Patna: A Bihar court on Friday ordered the filing of an FIR against BJP president Amit Shah and suspended party leader Daya Shankar Singh, who had made derogatory remarks against Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati.
The Chief Judicial Magistrate in Hajipur, the district headquarters of Vaishali, has ordered the police to lodge a case against Shah and Singh.
The court's order was in response to a petition filed by a Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Balinder Das, who filed a petition in the CJM court, seeking an order to file an FIR against Shah and Singh in connection with derogatory remarks made by Singh against Mayawati.
"I have approached the court as BJP leaders have hurt millions of Dalits, the backward community and poor by derogatory remarks against BSP chief Mayawati," Das said in his petition.
