Sonia, Rahul should be stripped, sent back to Italy: BJP MLA
March 31, 2014  13:18
In an abusive comment, a BJP MLA has threatened to strip Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi, and send them back to Italy if his party comes to power. 

Addressing a rally in Rajasthan's Tonk constituency, Heeralal Regar said: "Sonia and Rahul Gandhi should be stripped off their clothes and sent back to Italy."

Taking note of Regar's comments, the Congress party has complained to the Election Commission. 

However, speaking to a news channel, Regar he apologised for his remark, but added he has been misquoted. "I have not taken any name. If anyone is hurt by my comments, I apologise," Regar said. 

The incident comes days after the BJP urged the Election Commission to take action against Congress' Saharanpur nominee Imran Masood over a purported anti-Narendra Modi speech.
