Dharamshala, May 28 -- Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Dharamshala Sudhir Sharma has moved a privilege motion seeking action against Shimla superintendent of police (SP) Sanjeev Gandhi, alleging the SP made "derogatory and threatening" remarks against him. The letter, dated May 25, was shared my MLA Sharma on his social media accounts on Tuesday.

During the press conference, Gandhi had alleged that Sharma was a mastermind in the alleged "horse trading" of the MLAs during the Rajya Sabha elections held in February last year.
