EC to issue notice to Amit Shah

New Delhi, Apr 7 (IBNS) The Election Commission (EC) will issue a notice to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s Uttar Pradesh in-charge and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's close aide Amit Shah for his 'revenge' remark, said reports on Monday.

While the EC has initiated an inquiry over Shah's 'revenge' remark, an FIR has been lodged against him for the alleged hate speech.

Reports said the FIR has been lodged in Bijnor in Uttar Pradesh.

According to reports, the EC is examining tapes of Shah's speech.

BJP president Rajnath Singh on Saturday said Shah's remarks were 'taken out of context'.

"He was just referring to the bad governance of the Congress," Singh told media.

Triggering a controversy, Shah has urged people to take their revenge by voting for his party in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

Addressing a rally at a riot-hit Jat village near Muzaffarnagar, Shah said, "If you want to take revenge, vote for the BJP."

"In today's time you can't take revenge with swords and arrows like it was done in the Mughal era. But today the people are constantly being denied justice ... they are not getting their rights. So, you press the right button (on the Electronic Voting Machine) and show people their right place," he said.
