Case filed against Rakhi Rahul K.S. Sudarshan

Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Digvijay Singh, former RSS chief K.S. Sudarshan and the beautiful controversy queen have one thing in common. They have all been dragged to court in Madhya Pradesh. Cases were filed against the two Congress leaders as they compared the Hindu rightwing Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) with the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and Lashkar-e-Taiba in Indore on last Tuesday.

RSS activist Mukesh Pedwa filed a case under Section 500 and 153 of the Indian Penal Code in the court of first class judicial magistrate D.K. Singh against the Congress leaders. The court fixed November 22, 2010 as the date of hearing. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi mentioned at a press conference in Bhopal on October 5 that he know only that both SIMI and RSS are over-enthusiastic and hold fundamentalist views. Former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Digvijay Singh asserted at a seminar November 12,2010 in Nagpur that take the example of the Lashkar-e-Taiba.

When it was banned, it floated another organisation called the Jamat-ud-Dawa, and continued to operate under a different name. Similarly, a ban on the RSS is no solution. A case was also filed against television actress Rakhi Sawant, her show Rakhi Ka Insaaf and Imagine TV in Indore. Kishore Murmat petitioned the court of first class judicial magistrate Bhupender Nakwal. November 25,2010 was fixed as the date of hearing.
