JP Nadda and Amit Malviya have been given a week's time to appear before the Bengaluru Police in connection with the video.

BJP President JP Nadda and the party's IT Cell chief Amit Malviya have been summoned by the Bengaluru Police over an 'objectionable post' made by the Karnataka unit of the party. A notice was issued to the leaders by the Investigating Officer of the Highgrounds Police in Bengaluru on Wednesday.

JP Nadda and Amit Malviya have been given a week's time to appear before the Bengaluru Police in connection with the video.

When asked about police summons issued to the BJP leaders, Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara said the social media post amounts to attacking certain laws against communal differences.

"Once they (Nadda and Malviya) come and give a statement or justify their statement, we will see what needs to be taken," he said.
