A combative Congress today asserted that it will move the High Court seeking quashing of the FIR lodged against Rahul Gandhi for alleged violation of poll code, saying the action was taken at the behest of Chief Minister Mayawati.

Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh told reporters in Kanpur that he wanted to clarify that the party has not received any notice regarding violation of Model Code of Conduct.

The FIR was lodged against Rahul Gandhi by the district authorities which said his road show in Kanpur had breached the time limit and the route map set by them.
