Kalaburagi: In a recent development, leaders of the Welfare Party of India have filed a formal complaint with the Election Commission against Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

The complaint pertains to Shah's remarks made during an election rally in Alappuzha, Kerala, where he alleged that the Congress Party is being supported by the Welfare Party with the aim of transforming India into an "Islamic State".

The complaint, submitted through Kalaburagi Election Officer, highlights that Shah's statements are not only false but also violate the Model Code of Conduct.

Welfare Party of India, a registered political entity operating under the auspices of the Election Commission for the past 13 years, asserts that Shah's remarks have cast unwarranted doubt on the party's integrity and may mislead voters.

Calling for appropriate action to be taken, the party stressed on the need for electoral processes to remain free from misinformation and inflammatory rhetoric.
