These alleged remarks were made during a meeting and Jana Ashirbad rally in Vidisha district, Madhya Pradesh, on September 18.
CM Sarma is accused of suggesting that Sonia Gandhi's residence, known as 10, Janpath, should be subjected to arson.
In the complaint, Mira Borthakur Goswami condemned CM Sarma's comments as taking electoral rhetoric to an "ugly" extreme, crossing the line into instigating violence and arson.
