Complaints Filed Against Salman for Defaming Hinduism
Two attorneys have filed a case with the delhi police stating that salman Khurshid, a senior congress leader, and former Union Minister, insulted hinduism at his book launch. salman Khurshid, a senior Congressman, has written a book titled "Sunrise over Ayodhya-Nationhood in Our Times." This discussion was started last week. At the book launch, salman Khurshid is claimed to have linked hinduism to the IS militant movement and the Boko Haram extremist group. Following this, two delhi lawyers have filed a police case against salman Khurshid.
The complaint case reads, "At the launch of his book, Congressman salman Khurshid equated hinduism to IS and Boko Haram radicals. His beliefs are intended to legitimize extremist groups. It hurts Hindus' sentiments, he believes and causes tension between the two factions. Every citizen has the right to free speech and expression under our Constitution. It should not, however, be used to denigrate the country's cohesiveness and dignity. It is a serious felony to incite citizens to hatred of race, religion, or to utilize freedom of speech and expression to endanger the nation's security.
Hinduism has been compared to isis and the Boko Haram extremist group by salman Khurshid. This has cast doubt on the Hindu community as a whole, as well as the worth of religion and society. As a result, salman Khurshid should data-face charges under sections 153, 153A, 298 and 505 (2) of the IPC, and he should not be released on bail."
