 Why is there no FIR against the opposition for abusing PM Modi, but one against BJP for Rahul calling Ravan?

                                

The recent FIR against the BJP for Rahul Gandhi calling Ravana a "BJP spokesperson" has sparked a debate about the different standards of treatment for the ruling party and the opposition.

On the one hand, there have been numerous instances of opposition leaders abusing PM Modi, but no FIRs have been filed against them. For example, in 2019, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor called PM Modi a "coward" and a "psychopath" in a tweet. In 2017, Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee called PM Modi a "fascist" and a "dictator." However, no FIRs were filed against them for these remarks.

On the other hand, the BJP has filed an FIR against Rahul Gandhi for calling Ravana a "BJP spokesperson." The BJP has alleged that Rahul Gandhi's remarks are offensive to Hindus and have hurt their religious sentiments.

This differential treatment has led to accusations of hypocrisy and bias against the BJP. Critics argue that the BJP is using its power to silence its critics and to create a climate of fear and intimidation.

The BJP, however, has defended its actions, arguing that Rahul Gandhi's remarks are offensive and should not be tolerated. The BJP has also pointed out that Rahul Gandhi has a history of making controversial remarks about Hindu deities.

The debate over the FIR against the BJP for Rahul calling Ravan is likely to continue for some time. It is a complex issue with no easy answers. However, it is important to note that the differential treatment of the ruling party and the opposition is a cause for concern. It is important to ensure that all citizens have the right to free speech and expression, regardless of their political affiliation.

Here are some possible explanations for the different standards of treatment:

• The BJP is the ruling party, and it has more power and influence than the opposition. This power imbalance can lead to the BJP being able to get away with things that the opposition cannot.
• The BJP has a strong base of support among Hindus, and it is careful not to offend them. Rahul Gandhi's remarks about Ravana were seen as offensive to many Hindus, and the BJP may have felt that it needed to take action to protect its Hindu support base.
• The BJP has a history of using law enforcement agencies to target its political opponents. This has led to accusations that the BJP is using the FIR against Rahul Gandhi as a tool of political persecution.

It is important to note that these are just possible explanations, and there is no one definitive answer to the question of why there is no FIR against the opposition for abusing PM Modi, but one against BJP for Rahul calling Ravan.
