Like Bangladesh, people in India will one day storm PM house: Congress leader Sajjan Singh Verma
Bhopal, Aug 7: In controversial comments, senior Madhya Pradesh Congress leader Sajjan Singh Verma has said like the riot-ravaged Bangladesh, people in India will one day storm the official residence of Prime Minister and occupy it, prompting the BJP's youth wing to demand registration of a case against him.
During a Congress protest in Indore on Tuesday, Verma said TV news channels are reporting that the people of Bangladesh entered the Prime Minister's official residence during the civil unrest in the neighbouring country because of the wrong policies of deposed PM Sheikh Hasina and her government.
"Remember Narendra Modi ji, one day people will enter the Prime Minister's residence because of your wrong policies, and will occupy it (PM house). It happened recently in Sri Lanka (in 2022), where people entered the Prime Minister's (President's) house, and then in Bangladesh and now it is India's turn," said the former state minister.
He was addressing Congress workers during a protest organised against alleged scams in the Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC).
Angered by Verma's comments, Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM)'s Indore city president Saugat Mishra along with activists of the saffron outfit on Wednesday submitted a representation to officials at the MG Road police station demanding registration of a case against the Congress veteran.
Talking to reporters, Mishra said BYJM office-bearers submitted the representation against Verma for using "anti-national" language and hurting the sentiments of 140 crore Indians.
Verma compared the situation prevailing in Bangladesh, which has witnessed large-scale violence and vandalism in the last few days, with that in India and gave the "anti-national" statement, he maintained.
Congress leaders are trying to stay in media headlines by making such comments, the BYJM leader claimed.
Additional DCP (Zone-3) Ramsanehi Mishra said the BJYM has submitted a complaint against Verma about his speech given during a protest on Tuesday.
The complaint will be looked into, he said.
Video footage of the statement will be screened and legal opinion taken before initiating further action in the matter, Mishra said.
Soon people will attack the PM House, capture it and thrash Narendra Modi - Congress leader Sajjan Verma

Allahabad HC sets aside maintenance order in favour of earning wife, says she didn't tell truth
Prayagraj (PTI): The Allahabad High Court has set aside a lower court order mandating a man to pay maintenance to his estranged wife, observing that she earns her living and did not reveal the true salary in her affidavit.
Justice Madan Pal Singh also allowed a criminal revision petition filed by the man, Ankit Saha.
"A perusal of the impugned judgment indicates that in the affidavit filed before the trial court, the opposite party herself admitted that she is a post-graduate and a web designer by qualification. She is working as a senior sales coordinator in a company and getting a salary of Rs 34,000 per month," the court said in the December 3 order.
"But in her cross-examination, she has admitted that she was earning Rs 36,000 per month. Such an amount for a wife who has no other liability cannot be said to be meagre; whereas the man has the responsibility of maintaining his aged parents and other social obligations," it observed.
The high court observed that the woman was not entitled to get any maintenance from her husband "as she is an earning lady and able to maintain herself".
The man's counsel argued in court that the estranged wife did not reveal the whole truth in the affidavit.
"She claimed herself to be an illiterate and unemployed woman. When the document filed by the man was shown to her before the trial court, she admitted her income during cross-examination. Thus, it is clear that she did not come before the trial court with clean hands," the counsel submitted.
The court, in its order, said, "Cases of those litigants who have no regard for the truth and those who indulge in suppressing material facts need to be thrown out of the court."
It impugned the lower court's February 17 judgment and order, passed by the principal judge of a family court in Gautam Buddh Nagar and allowed the criminal revision petition filed by the man.
