BHOPAL, 3 February, 2021 (TON): Congress MP Digvijaya Singh raises FIR against the journalist and Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, after the 26 January, 2021 issue in Delhi Tractor March.

He said, "This leads to harassment of the concerned person" as they have been charged with sedition and requested the Home Minister to look into the matter.

The Congress MP, Shashi Tharoor claimed that the FIR registered in three other states is of the same type.

The Noida police booked Member of Parliament Shashi Tharoor, journalists Rajdeep Sardesai, Mrinal Pande, Vinod K. Jose (Caravan), and others for sedition.

An FIR lodged at the Sector-20 police station on Thursday, stated that they were booked for spreading fake news pertaining to the death of a farmer during the tractor rally on this Republic Day.

The names included in the FIR were Zafar Agha, the Group Editor-in-Chief of National Herald, and Ananth Nath, the Editor of Caravan.

The farmers’ issue in India has become the center of attention for all and has caught many eyes on it. The national stance on the issue is likely to be that the few politicians and journalists are being involved in promoting enmity between different groups on the basis of religion, race, living, etc, and spreading acts that are harming the national integration.
