The Congress Seva Dal, the party's grassroots mobilisation unit, has filed a formal complaint regarding a social media post by a former IAF officer that drew comparisons between Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and 26/11 attacker Ajmal Kasab.
The legal cell of Congress Seva Dal announced its decision to escalate the matter through proper legal channels, signalling a firm response to what it described as a malicious act. Party officials said such posts were part of a pattern of inflammatory remarks targeting senior party functionaries.
The complaint marks the party's latest move to address what it views as defamatory content on social media platforms. Congress Seva Dal representatives indicated they would pursue all available remedies to address the issue and protect the reputation of party leaders.
The incident comes amid heightened scrutiny of inflammatory social media content targeting political figures across India. The Congress Seva Dal's action underscores growing concerns among political organisations about the need for accountability in online spaces.
