New Delhi,

The Assam and the Uttar Pradesh governments on Friday opposed in the Supreme Court a plea of Congress leader Pawan Khera seeking clubbing of FIRs lodged for his alleged objectionable remarks against the prime minister, claiming his party was still continuing with the “very same low level” on their social media accounts.

The Uttar Pradesh government sought dismissal of the plea with a cost by terming it as “misconceived” and “an attempt to leapfrogging the routine normal procedure available under the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC)”.

“That it is submitted that the leaders of the political party (Congress) to which the petitioner (Khera) belongs have, even after this hon’ble court taking cognizance of the matter, continued the very same low level in their official Twitter handles and other social media account,” the Assam government said.
