The incident occurred during a meeting attended by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
Later, the man was arrested.
The Congress rejected the BJP’s claim that Rahul Gandhi was involved.
According to Congress, the protest was a political tactic to divert attention from the issue of vote theft.
Earlier, the BJP Yuva Morcha president, Mewaker Lyngdoh, said the protest was against the insult hurled at the Prime Minister’s mother.
Lyngdoh announced that the BJP would not only protest in front of the Congress office but also plans to stage a protest in front of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) office, as they believe that no action has been taken against TMC MP Mahua Moitra for her alleged derogatory remarks.
The state BJP filed a zero FIR before East Khasi Hills SP demanding action against Moitra, who spoke against Amit Shah.
MPCC Secretary Manuel Badwar termed the protest a tactic to shift attention away from the party’s own controversies.
“It is a very tactical move from their side, which I believe that they want to take away the entire limelight of the vote theft that time and time again the whole country is talking about, the whole country is witnessing that this is actually something which has a lot of weight, has a lot of truth,” Badwar said..
He stressed that the real issues facing the country are unemployment and the unequal distribution of wealth, which the BJP is trying to divert attention from.
