BJP lodge complaint against Congress over posting "insulting" tweet against Prime Minister

BJP Thursday lodged a police complaint here against Congress social media chief Divya Spandana over posting an alleged "insulting" tweet against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, party leaders said.

BJP Tamil Nadu unit Treasurer SR Sekhar and a few other party workers in their complaint to the Cyber Crime Cell here sought immediate and stringent action against the actor-turned-politician, who was also a former MP from Karnataka.

Talking to reporters, Sekhar alleged Spandana in her tweet had made derogatory remarks against Modi while referring to the Rafale deal.

A case had been registered against her by the Lucknow police on a complaint by lawyer Syed Rizwan Ahmed over the tweet.
