Vadodara: Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) would file a case against Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Pravin Togadia for his "derogatory" remarks against party president Sonia Gandhi.

A senior party leader and former GPCC chief Amarsinh Chaudhary said that he has already demanded registration of case against Togadia by the Gujarat government as done in the case of Shiv Sena leader Bal Thackeray by the Maharashtra government for advocating formation of Hindu suicide squads.

Chaudhary said, "It is a fit case for arrest of Togadia under Prevention of Terrorism Ordinance (POTO) and if the Gujarat government fails to take any action, then Congress will file a case in the court."

On October 21, senior Congress leader Balram Jhakhar had also said in a statement in New Delhi that he would initiate legal action against Togadia for his "indecent" utterances.
