Is PM above everyone in a democracy or is Modi a king? So you use a bad name for PM, and PM will send paramilitary forces to arrest you?

Who has used these words on record for opposition leaders: 'Jersey Cow', 'Congress ki Vidhwa', 'Maunmohan', '50 Crore girlfriend'?

Nobody is a king including the pm. it is about the land of the law.

did someone file a case? can you share a reference if there is one?

Its may also be called "Selective enforcement".

I wonder if there is any policeman brave enough who will register a FIR against the PM. This is what happened with Rahul Gandhi asked questions in parliament about relations of PM Modi and Adani. Isn't opposition's job to ask questions and Government's job to provide answers in a democracy?:

>> Rahul's allegations against the PM regarding industrialist Gautam Adani were expunged from the Lok Sabha records on Tuesday. As the House assembled, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Prahlad Joshi urged the Speaker to look into the privilege notice. "Rahul Gandhi's baseless remarks should be expunged and action should be taken against him," he said. [1]

This is another sad story of a police officer who "took on Modi". A police officer got suspended and now sentenced to life for an old case after he went against Modi:

>> The Gujarat government had originally appealed the court to drop charges against Bhatt and other policemen in the 1990 custodial death case. However, after Bhatt's affidavit against Modi, the Government withdrew its application, and the court initiated criminal proceedings against the policemen. [2]
