Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge's remark at Prime Minister Narendra Modi drew massive outrage from the BJP, which filed a complaint with the Election Commission of India.
Kharge accused PM Modi of terrorising political parties and people by misusing government machinery and central agencies to stifle the opposition.
BJP leader Amit Shah slammed the Congress for hitting new lows in its demeanour, saying PM Modi has completely curbed terrorism in the last 12 years.
The BJP demanded 'suitable penal and regulatory proceedings' against Kharge for his remarks and requested the EC to initiate action under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
