Raipur: Mana police registered an FIR against TMC MP Mahua Moitra in Chhattisgarh’s Raipur for her alleged objectionable remarks against Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

According to the police sources, a case was registered against TMC MP Moitra at the Mana police station on Saturday under sections 196 (promoting enmity between different groups on the grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc) and 197 (imputations, assertions prejudicial to national integration) of the BNS.

This case was registered on a complaint by a local person from Chhattisgarh. In his complaint he said that Moitra sparked a controversy after allegedly saying that if Amit Shah fails to stop infiltration from Bangladesh, the first thing you should do is cut Amit Shah’s head and put it on your table.

She allegedly made the statement while speaking to reporters in West Bengal’s Nadia district on the sidelines of an event on Thursday. She alleged that the Union Government was shirking its responsibilities on border security.

The complainant in his statement said that a large number of Bangladeshi refugees were settled in the Mana Camp area in Raipur in 1971, and Moitra’s statement has created fear among them, as such remarks may provoke anger from other communities against them.
