Rajkot : Senior RSS leader Pravin Maniar has lodged a complaint against former cricketer and BJP leader Navjot Singh Sidhu with the EC and the local police for his remarks against GPP leader Keshubhai Patel. Campaigning for BJP MLA in Visavadar recently, Sidhu had allegedly called Keshubhai an “anti-nationl” leader and said that giving vote to him was like eating “beef”.

In his complaint filed with city police commissioner H P Singh, Maniar, a close aide of Keshubhai, said Sidhu had hurt sentiments of lakhs of Hindus by making such remarks. In a separate complaint filed with the EC, he said Sidhu had violated model code of conduct and action should be taken against him.
