Manjit Kumar Singh, JD(U) MLA from Baikunthpur in Gopalganj district, lodged the FIR against Dhankar under various sections of the IPC with the Sachivalay Police Station.
Singh registered the FIR under sections 153A (promoting enmity between groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language etc and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony), 153B (imputations, assertions prejudicial to national integration), and 294 (obscene acts and songs).
Dhankhar, who is BJP Kisan Morcha (farmers' cell) President, had reportedly made a controversial remark while addressing a meeting of party workers in Haryana that if his party was voted to power in state polls, it would get girls from Bihar to ensure men in Haryana get married.
Singh lodged the FIR immediately after the assembly was adjourned till 2 pm due to ruckus created by JD(U), RJD, and Congress on this issue and by BJP on a different issue of demanding CBI inquiry into purchase of alleged spurious medicines for hospitals which resulted in death of a person in Bhagalpur recently.
Dhankar's controversial remarks have elicited sharp protests here.
Bihar State Women Commission (SWC) took suo moto cognisance of reports published in newspapers about the remark and slapped a notice on him yesterday asking him to appear before it in person by August 13.
