BJP leader Nazia Khan on Friday said she has filed a complaint against Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's remarks on the Manusmriti. Khan, who is a Supreme Court lawyer, also slammed the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha for using images of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanth while speaking on Manusmriti.
"Since the BJP government came to power, has the PM ever stated that everyone must read or follow the Manusmriti? He will have to answer for why he did this," news agency ANI quoted her as saying.
Khan alleged that Rahul Gandhi picked out a single chapter and twisted the words to malign the ancient text. "The way the Manusmriti has been maligned: by picking out a single chapter and twisting the words, attempts have been made to create a false impression," she said.

The BJP leader alleged that Gandhi said whatever he pleased, and questioned his use of pictures of BJP and RSS leaders. "But why did he display the photographs of the PM and the respected CM Yogi Adityanath in the background? Why did he display the photograph of Mohan Bhagwat," Khan asked.
