Defamation Case Filed Against Kamal Haasan For The Hindu Terror Remark, Hearing Tomorrow
Things aren’t going really well with Tamil actor Kamal Haasan, after the sequential defamation cases during the Bigg Boss show, now he is worried about another case filed against him on his opinion on Hindus.
Haasan in a recent statement mentioned, “Hindu terror is now a reality in India”, for this, a defamation case for hurting religious sentiments has been filed against the Tamil actor in Varanasi. Hassan has been booked under IPC sections 500, 511, 298, 295(a) & 505(c) pertaining to defamation, attempt to cause offense, intent to hurt religious feelings and to incite community.
The actor’s opinion was published in a major Tamil weekly magazine, Ananda Vikatan, in which he was quoted saying, “Hindu right-wing groups have unprecedentedly started indulging in acts of violence”.
The court officials scheduled the hearing to tomorrow, that is, Saturday. “In the past, Hindu right-wing groups would not indulge in violence but hold a dialogue with opposition parties on their arguments. But this old tactic was defeated and they started using muscle power. They started indulging in violence, the right-wing cannot challenge anyone asking the question: show me, one Hindu terrorist. Terror has spread into their camp as well”, wrote the actor.
These statements from Haasan came as a response to the question raised by Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan about Hindutva forces’ efforts to make inroads in the state.
Addressing Vijayan, Haasan further wrote, “Such terror activities will not help them in any which way… truth alone triumphs… No matter how many people want to derail this will come up because of its tendency. Tamil Nadu will become an example for social justice once again… for today Kerala shows the way. Congratulations.”
All these words said by Haasan rose wild spree of violence, especially from the BJP officials, on the same issue, GVL Narasimha Rao, national spokesperson of the party, comparing the actor to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) founder Hafiz Saeed, he said, “Today, when Kamal Haasan makes similar comments, he is actually joining the ranks of P Chidambaram, Hafiz Saeed and is possible angling to become an extension of the Congress party.”
