New Delhi: The city
police Wednesday told a Delhi court that a complaint seeking
registration of an FIR against union Home Minister Sushilkumar
Shinde for his remarks linking the BJP and the RSS to "Hindu
terrorism", was "motivated".
Delhi Police filing an action taken report (ATR) before
Metropolitan Magistrate Viplav Dabas said that the complaint bears
"misrepresentation of facts".
Police said evidence supplied by the complainant does not disclose
any offence worth taking cognizance of by the police.
The two-page police report said: "In view of the above noted
facts, it seems that...(Vivek Garg's) complaint/petition is
motivated and bears misrepresentation of facts. It discloses no
cognizable offence." The court posted the matter for further
arguments Feb 11.
Right to Information (RTI) activist Vivek Garg filed a complaint
seeking registration of first information report (FIR) against
Shinde for his remark against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and
the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS).
The complaint accused Shinde of making "imputations prejudicial to
national integration, uttering words with deliberate intent to
wound religious feelings of Hindus, defaming them, and insulting
their religion and beliefs".
However, police in their report said: "From the transcription of
the speech, it is nowhere reflected that the home minister
intended to incite any class of community or person to commit any
offence against any other class or community."
"Further, the uttering of the words with the deliberate intention
of wounding the religious feelings of other persons is an offence,
but the same is lacking in the speech."
"When the speaker with deliberate or malicious intention of
outraging the religious feelings of any class of citizen of India
insults or attempts to insult the religion or religious beliefs of
that class, it is an essential ingredient, which is also not there
in the given set of facts," the report added.
In his complaint, Garg said the remark was made for "promoting
enmity between different groups on grounds of religion and
wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause religious riots".
"Shinde wilfully, maliciously and without any lawful right, with a
malafide intention deliberately made derogatory statement against
Hindus which were widely published in the newspapers and read by
countless people across the world even on net," the complainant
said.
Shinde during the Congress "Chintan Shivir" Jan 20 in Jaipur
accused the BJP and its mentor, the RSS, of conducting terror
training camps and promoting "Hindu terrorism".
