The Supreme Court on Monday reserved its order on a plea of Congress Rajya Sabha member Imran Pratapgarhi seeking the quashing of an FIR registered against him by a Jamnagar (Gujarat) resident accusing him of allegedly promoting communal disharmony by posting a video clip on his social media handle X with a poem “ae khoon ke pyase baat suno...” running in the background.
