In a significant development, Pritam Lodhi, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislator from Pichhore in Madhya Pradesh, has been served a show-cause notice by the state BJP unit for making controversial remarks against police officer Ayush Jakhar. State BJP President Hemant Khandelwal described Lodhi's conduct as 'highly objectionable' and demanded a response within three days. The controversy escalated after Lodhi publicly questioned Jakhar's authority, stating, 'Karera is not your daddy's fiefdom,' and threatened to mobilize a large crowd to protest outside the officer's residence. This outburst followed an incident on April 16, where Lodhi's son, Dinesh Lodhi, was involved in an accident that injured five people. The police have registered a First Information Report (FIR) and seized the vehicle involved. The incident has provoked backlash not only from political opponents but also from the IPS Association, which has called for strict legal action against Lodhi. Protests have erupted in various locations, indicating widespread public discontent with the MLA's remarks. Facing mounting pressure, Lodhi has since claimed that the media misrepresented his statements.
