Janata Party chief Subramanian Swamy was on Friday granted interim protection till January 30 by the Delhi High Court against his possible arrest for writing an allegedly “inflammatory” article.
Justice M.L. Mehta granted interim protection to Dr. Swamy on an undertaking by him that he would not write such articles in the future and issued notice to the Delhi Police for its response on Dr. Swamy’s anticipatory bail plea.
While hearing Dr. Swamy’s plea, Justice Mehta observed, “We are a secular country and we should respect the system which we have.”
The court said, “It is not a European country like Britain. We have a diversity and we should be proud of it.
“If you (Swamy) give an undertaking that you will not write anything based on the book, I’ll grant you the relief,” the judge said.
The court’s observation came after Dr. Swamy’s counsel, senior advocate K.T.S. Tulsi, argued that as he (Swamy) has exposed 2G scam against the government, this case has been lodged to harass him.
The counsel also said that Dr. Swamy had written the article based on a book, which he had written six years ago, but no untoward incident had happened after that and suddenly the police registered a case against him soon after he exposed the 2G scam.
Dr. Swamy had moved the high court on Thursday seeking anticipatory bail in the case filed against him in October last year by the Crime Branch of Delhi Police for writing an article in a newspaper in July last year which, it said, tended to spread communal enmity.
Dr. Swamy, however, has denied all charges levelled by Delhi Police in the FIR. The matter will now come up on January 30.
It is another conspiracy against an opponent by the Congress' "Dirty Tricks Department" headed by the devilish Diggy Singh , at the behest of his Madame, and aided by the HM Chidambaram, who is a co-conspirator in the 2G Spectrum Scam, which Dr.Subramaniam Swamy is pursuing in the Court. This particular case against Dr.Swamy has no merit whatsoever, because Dr.Swamy has not written anything to spread enmity between communities. On the contrary, it is the divisive Congress which is giving sops and promises of religion-based quota to the so-called minorities for the sake of votebanks, aimed at causing enmity between communities. The 'Communal and Targetted Violence Bill' drafted by Sonia and her cronies in the NAC is blatantly against the majority community of this land. The Congress' policies have the potential to disintegrate India. The HM Chidambaram has once again misused the Delhi Police to target an opponent, similar to the Ramlila Maidan incident where he targetted Baba Ramdev and his followers. The Congress has been behaving like a mafia.
