The Samajwadi Party (SP) is under fire after a video surfaced showing spokesperson Rajkumar Bhati making derogatory remarks about the Brahmin community. This incident has drawn criticism from both the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Opposition Congress in Uttar Pradesh. BJP president and Union Minister Pankaj Chaudhary described Bhati's comments as 'indecent and vulgar', asserting that they reflect the SP's corrupt mentality aimed at fragmenting social unity. Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak echoed these sentiments, stating that the SP's true character has been exposed once again. In response, Congress chief Ajay Rai demanded immediate disciplinary action against Bhati, emphasizing that insulting an entire community is unacceptable. Following the backlash, an FIR was registered against Bhati at the Kavinagar police station in Ghaziabad under Section 196(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which addresses promoting enmity between groups based on religion. The complaint was filed by BJP leader Ajay Sharma, who sought strict action for comments that allegedly hurt religious sentiments. In an attempt to mitigate the situation, Bhati issued an unconditional apology, claiming that parts of his speech had been selectively edited to misrepresent his intentions.
