New Delhi: A Delhi
court Monday allowed Janata Party chief Subramanian Swamy to move
an application against Home Minister P. Chidambaram and make him a
co-accused in an over two decade old case of mass killings in
Uttar Pradesh.
Swamy, in a verbal submission, requested Additional Sessions Judge
Rakesh Siddhartha that he be allowed to move the application
against Chidambaram under Section 319 Code of Criminal Procedure
(power to proceed against other persons appearing to be guilty of
offence).
Accepting the Janata Party chief's request, the court will hear
the case Aug 17.
The application will be moved in first week of the next month,
Swamy told IANS.
Around 40 Muslims were killed in 1987 after a curfew was clamped
to search for illegal arms in the Hashimpura area of Uttar
Pradesh's Meerut city.
Chidambaram was then the minister of state for internal security
in the home ministry at the centre.
