A writ petition was filed in the Calcutta High Court against Amit Shah (Union Home Minister of India) on Tuesday, claiming he made 'provocative and derogatory' remarks during an election rally in Darjeeling on April 21. The petitioner, Noortaj Ahammed Mallick, argues that Shah's statement 'Ulta latka kar seedha kar denge', which translates to 'will hang you upside down to set you right', conveys a threat of physical harm. Additionally, Shah referred to supporters of the Trinamool Congress as 'goons', which the petitioner claims undermines the dignity of political discourse. The petition highlights concerns that such remarks foster insecurity and intimidation among voters. Mallick had previously submitted a complaint to the Election Commission of India and local authorities on April 26, but no substantial action was reported. The petitioner seeks a court order to prevent Shah from making further inflammatory statements and to address violations of the Model Code of Conduct during the election period. Meanwhile, the second phase of polling for the West Bengal Assembly elections is taking place, with counting scheduled for May 4.
