Guj court orders inquiry in PC's 'saffron terror' remark
A court in Gujarat today ordered a police inquiry against Union Home Minister P Chidambaram in a defamation suit filed against him for his 'saffron terror' remarks.
Metropolitan Magistrate M G Dave under section 202 of CrPC ordered an officer of the Superintendent of Police's level to conduct an inquiry and submit a report within 90 days on the issue.
One Swami Nijanand Tirth of Patan district had filed the defamation complaint under section 499 and 500(defamation) of the Indian Penal Code in the metropolitan court.
Tirth has contended in his complaint that action should be taken against Chidambaram as the Home minister has hurt the sentiments of lakhs of Hindu saints by using the phrase 'saffron terrorism'.
He said the colour saffron is the symbol of the Hindu religion and saints across the country wear attire of the same colour. Tirth also said that saffron was the symbol of peace and sacrifice and God and those trying to demean it needs to be punished
