PALAKKAD: The police have booked Nilambur MLA PV Anvar for his alleged derogatory remarks against Congress leader and Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency UDF candidate Rahul Gandhi.

The police have registered a case against the LDF MLA after a complaint filed by Adv M Biju Noel, a native of Ernakulam.

The case was registered under Section 153A(1) and Section 125 of the Representation of the People Act. In an election rally in Palakkad, Anvar said that a DNA test should be done to find out if Rahul Gandhi is a Nehru family member.

At the same time, PV Anvar has repeated that he spoke about Rahul Gandhi's political DNA and he stands by that statement. He said that under no circumstances will he retract what he said.
