The matter was mentioned in the Supreme Court today by Rajya Sabha MP and senior advocate?Abhishek Manu Singhvi.

So far, complaints against him have been filed in?Assam, Lucknow and Varanasi.?The court henceforth,?sought response of Assam and Uttar Pradesh governments on clubbing of multiple FIRs against the Congress leader.

Khera recently referred to the prime minister as "Narendra Gautamdas Modi" while criticising the Central government over the row involving the business conglomerate headed by Gautam Adani.?Delhi BJP on Tuesday staged a protest near Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's residence here, demanding an apology over her party spokesperson Pawan Khera's "disgraceful" remark.?
