KOLKATA: A complaint has been lodged against Union Minister Babul Supriyo after he rebuked a man during a programme for differently-abled people in Asansol. The singer-turned-politician was addressing an event of differently-abled persons when he was caught on camera threatening a person. He was felicitating a man named Ghanshyam Ram when someone from the audience disrupted his speech. The BJP leader got agitated and asked the man if he had any problem. Supriyo said, “What happened brother? Do you have any problem? I can break one of your legs and hand you a crutch.”
He then asked the person to move to one side and remain there. Addressing the audience, he then said, “If he moves from his spot, break one of his legs, I will give him a stick.” A master of controversies, earlier this year, a case was registered against the BJP leader after he clashed with some police personnel. He was charged with disrupting public order. Two separate FIRs were filed against Supriyo after the BJP MLA got into a scuffle with cops as he attempted to enter troubled areas in Asansol.
Supriyo however remained defiant and filed a counter FIR, saying he had all the rights to enter his constituency, which had at that times witnessed violence following a Ram Navami procession.
