Court orders FIR against Giriraj Singh for comment on Sonia
The Muzzaffarpur Chief Judicial Magistrate court has ordered police to register the FIR after a local Congress worker filed a petition against Singh for his racist comment.
Singh had said that if late prime minister Rajiv Gandhi had married a Nigerian women, she would not have become the Congress president because she would not have been white-skinned like Sonia Gandhi.
This triggered a massive outcry from the leaders of Congress and other parties.
Sonia Gandi, however, refused to comment on Singh's remarks.
"I feel that I should not make a comment on people with narrow mindset," she told reporters.
Though Singh later regretted over his comment, protests and criticism continued condemning his comment.
