Raju had unsuccessfully fought the 2022 state assembly polls from the Amritsar East constituency.

"Such statements, being made to the public at large are highly provocative, insinuating and willfully instigative by an incumbent chief minister of the capital of this country," said Raju in his complaint.

"Such unfairly and unfoundedly allegations towards the prime minister have higher bearing of causing instability and harmony and that too by a person who is the chief minister and his assertions may carry weight in the minds of people who otherwise may ignore such statements made by an ordinary politician," said Raju.

He urged the police to take action against the Delhi chief minister.
