Case Filed Against RSS Chief Over Anti-Pandit Remarks
Hyderabad, Feb 7 (Maxim News): A case has been filed against the RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat in a court in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur district over his remark that “pandits divided society for their own benefits.”
Sudhir Kumar Ojha, a senior lawyer of Muzaffarpur said, “The statement of Mohan Bhagwat has hurt the sentiments of Pandits. Hence, I have filed a case under various sections of IPC demanding action against him. The next hearing of the case is scheduled on February 20.”
It may be recalled that Mohan Bhagwat, during an event on Ravidas Jayanti in Mumbai, said, “The casts were created by Pandits and not God. God has made every human being equal but Pandits divided the society into casts for their own benefits.”
After bhagwat’s remarks drew criticism, the Sangh clarified on Monday that with Pandits, Bhagwat meant intellectuals and not Brahmins. (Maxim News)
