Complaint against Sadhvi’s hate speech filed, no FIR yet

Advocate Rajeev Kumar Bhola, on Wednesday afternoon submitted a four-page complaint at west Delhi’s Tilak Nagar police station. In his complaint, Bhola has demanded that police should register an FIR under Sections 153 (A), 153 (C), Section 295 and 500 of the Indian Penal Code in this connection. The charges against the Union Minister include deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion among others.
Speaking to Millennium Post, a senior police official said: “We received the complaint at about 2.40 pm but it has to be examined whether it qualifies to be converted into an FIR.” Till late Wednesday evening, the complaint was not converted into an FIR.
“It is shameful that our politicians have been increasingly using abusive public languages and there is no control of their leadership over such utterances. Such things hurt the religious sentiments of the public. Strong action should be taken in this connection,” Bhola told Millennium Post.
Sadhvi, on Monday, during a public rally used expletives against rival political parties as well. The minister asked voters to choose between ‘Ramzadon’ (those born of Ram) and ‘haramzadon’ (illegitimately born).
“Modiji ka mantra hai na hum khayenge na khane denge. Ab aapko tyah karna hai ki aap kise chunenge, aapko chunna hai ki ramzyaado ki sarkar banegi ya haramzado ki sarkar banegi, ye aapko tyah karna hai (Modi has given a mantra that we will neither take bribe nor let others take bribe. Now you have to decide whom to choose. Will you choose the sons of Ram or those who are illegitimate),” her statement said. After her hate speech, Sadhvi had stoked a controversy by allegedly making communal remarks and using an expletive in an election rally, leaving the BJP and the government embarrassed as an angry Opposition demanded that she be sacked immediately.
