EC tells X to take down BJP's animated video on Muslim quota

Linking the post where BJP aimed to attack the Congress amid the Muslim reservation row, the EC said, “I am directed to inform that post of "BJP4Kamataka" (as mentioned below) is violative of extant legal framework.”

The video in question depicts Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Ttribes (ST), and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) as "eggs" in a basket representing reservation. An animated character of Rahul Gandhi is shown planting another “egg” representing the Muslim community into the same basket. The video suggests that Congress leaders prioritise the Muslim community over SC, ST, and OBCs by allocating more funds to them, symbolised by placing funds into their mouths.

After the video was posted on Saturday, Karnataka Congress on Sunday filed a complaint against BJP national president J P Nadda, the party's IT cell head Amit Malviya, and state unit chief BY Vijayendra.
