According to the statement, a case has been filed against Awasthi as well as the "handlers" of the 'X' accounts of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Kamal Nath, and Arun Yadav at the Sanyogitaganj police station. The police added that an investigation into the matter is underway.
Taking a jibe at Congress after the remark by Kamal Nath, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said that the party has always believed in an emergency mindset, in intimidation, revenge, and vendetta politics.
Supporters of Kamal Nath decided to celebrate his birthday, which falls on November 18, in advance during his three-day visit to his hometown Chhindwara.
