New Delhi: A day after the Delhi Police registered a case against him for using objectionable language, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Monday said the move was an "attempt to pressurise" him as the word in question only meant “stupid”.
Raut was booked in Delhi after a BJP leader alleged that he had used abusive language against BJP members in a TV interview and threatened them.
Referring to the FIR, he said in a tweet the word means "stupid" according to Hindi dictionaries. "In spite of this, if a case is registered then it is nothing but an attempt to pressurise me. Some BJP leaders have used more objectionable words against women leaders, haven't heard of such FIR against them," he added.
Raut, a Rajya Sabha member, took exception to the case filed against him by the Delhi Police and sought to draw parallels with the Sushant Singh Rajput case.
"This is similar to the SSR case where Patna Police registered a case about what happened in Mumbai," Raut said.
