Defamation case against Shinde for 'Hindu terror' remarks
Press Trust of India / New Delhi January 23, 2013,
A defamation case has been filed against Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde
in a Delhi Court for his remarks linking BJP and RSS to Hindu terrorism.
The petition, filed by a Delhi resident V P Kumar through his counsel
Monika Arora, said that the Home Minister had "wilfully" made the
"derogatory" remarks to cause ill will and hatred among communities.
"The complaint has been filed before the Metropolitan Magistrate Amitabh
Rawat, who has fixed the matter for further consideration on January 28,"
Arora said.
Kumar in his petition alleged that Shinde's remarks weer aimes at
polarising minority votes for the 2014 general elections.
"The impugned statement is not only defamatory in its natural meaning but
also contains the imputation and insinuation that Hindu religion is
involved in anti-national and terrorist activities," the petition said
adding the minister "has used the words saffron as synonyms of terrorism,
which is totally absurd, wrong, mischievous and defamatory".
Addressing the AICC meeting at Jaipur on Sunday, Shinde had said, "...We
have got an investigation report that be it RSS or BJP, their training
camps are promoting Hindu terrorism. We are keeping a strict vigil on all
this".
