A political controversy has erupted in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan following the detention of three Congress IT Cell workers in Bhopal, linked to an alleged 'fake letter' criticizing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) regarding the women's reservation bill. The Rajasthan Police's actions have drawn sharp criticism from Congress leaders, who describe the detentions as undemocratic and a violation of freedom of expression. Senior Congress MP Vivek Tankha stated that the workers were held for over 27 hours without substantial grounds, threatening to approach the Madhya Pradesh High Court if they are not released. Congress State In-charge Harish Chaudhary called the detentions a misuse of power, demanding a fair investigation. State Congress President Jeetu Patwari questioned the selective targeting of Congress workers, urging equal treatment regardless of the letter's authenticity. In response, the BJP has framed the incident as a legal issue rather than a political one. Vasundhara Raje, the former Chief Minister of Rajasthan, dismissed the letter as a fabrication and reiterated her support for the Women's Reservation initiative led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
