New Delhi (The Stellar News): A Delhi-based lawyer practising in the supreme court of India on Thursday filed a complaint with Delhi Police against Bihar Education Minister Chandrashekar for his recent remark against the Hindu holy book Ramcharitmanas.
The complaint seeks direction to lodge FIR against him and take strict legal action.
Bihar Education Minister Chandershekar by making the statement has committed an offense under sections 153 A and B, 295, 298 and 505 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) which are cognizable offences and very serious in nature, the lawyer stated in his complaint.
Advocate Vineet Jindal through his complaint stated that the Minister’s provocative, inflammatory, derogatory, and inciting statement with regard to the holy book of Ramcharitmanas (which has been read by Hindus with faith) with the sole motive to hurt Hindu sentiments.
The complainant recently saw a video and news reports on the internet in which Chandrashekar said: “The three books, Manusmriti, Ramcharitmanas and Bunch of Thoughts have been spreading caste-related hatred in different eras,” stated the complaint.
Advocate Jindal further stated that, during his speech event, Chandrashekhar claimed that books like Manusmriti, Ramcharitmanas by Tulsidas and Bunch of thoughts by Madhav Sadashivrao Golwalkar worked towards 85 per cent of the population in the country backwards. “He claimed that while Manusmriti abuses lower castes, Ramcharitmanas advocates keeping lower caste people illiterate,” he said in his complaint.
