Raipur: The National Students Union of India (NSUI), the Congress Party’s students’ wing, has registered an FIR against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Sambit Patra and former Chhattisgarh chief minister Dr Raman Singh in the toolkit matter in Raipur.

The FIR has been registered under Sections 504, 505 (1) BC, 469 and 188 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

“An F.I.R. has been lodged by @NSUICG against the false propaganda of @sambitswaraj & @drramansingh. Even in this time of pandemic, BJP is catering only aim 'Save Modi's image by Spreading Lies , But BJP is ok if the nation dies ' . They are only bothered about their 'Fake Image',” NSUI President Neeraj Kundan tweeted.

This comes several BJP leaders earlier on Tuesday shared an alleged “Congress tookit” and alleged that the grand old party was trying to smear Prime Minister Narendra Modi and India.

The Congress later lashed out at the BJP over its move to release a purported Congress ‘toolkit’ with party national spokesperson Sunil Ahire stating the saffron party “shamelessly concocts forgeries” instead of providing relief “when our country is devastated by COVID”.

The Congress Party also lodged an FIR for forgery against BJP President J.P. Nadda and Patra over the “fake” toolkit shared by the ruling party at the Centre on “COVID-19 mismanagement” and “attributing it to AICC Research Department”.
