Congress today demanded that a police case be registered against the Union Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar for instigating the voters to accept bribe ahead of the February 4 Assembly elections in Goa.
"If FIR can be registered against (AAP leader) Arvind Kejriwal, then why not against Parrikar? Both have made similar comments and violated the model code of conduct," Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh said here.
The Election Commission has issued a notice to Parrikar for his remark and asked him to file a reply by tomorrow.
