A first information report has been filed against Shiv Sena leader Ramdas Kadam for his alleged 'anti-Muslim and anti-Pakistan remarks'. The Mumbai police have registered an FIR after complaint from the Election Commission.

Sharing the stage with Narendra Modi at a rally in Mumbai, Kadam said, "These Muslims rioted against police and burnt their vehicles".

"They vandalised the statues of martyrs, they molested policewomen... I am confident Narendra Modi will ensure that such acts are not left unpunished," he said, referring to the riots at Azad Maidan in 2012."
