Attempt to create hatred? Delhi police book SP MP Shafiqur Rahman Barq over his remarks on Ram Temple construction

New Delhi, December 03: The Samajwadi Party MP from Sambhal, Shafiqur Rahman Barq, who has been in the headlines for his controversial statements, is once again in the news. As of now, Delhi police have filed a complaint against SP MP Barq, for making an unwanted statement on Ram Temple construction.

 

 

Delhi Police filed an FIR following receiving a complaint from Delhi-based lawyer, Advocate Vineet Jindal. Jindal has sought an FIR against the Lok Sabha MP under sections 121, 153, 153A and B, 295, 298, and 505 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), which are cognizable offences and very serious in nature.

Jindal has also shared a copy of the complaint on a social media site. According to the complaint, Shafikur Rehman Barq, in his recent statement, stated that "Ram temple is being built forcibly, construction is against the law. The Babri Masjid was martyred and the temple is being built. "

 

 

 

In his complaint, he said that the "Supreme Court of India passed a judgement dated November 9, 2019, after which the Ram Mandir temple construction was started in Ayodhya, and a separate land was also provided to the Muslim community for the construction of Mosque but the statement made by the accused questions the judgment passed by the Supreme court which is a contempt to the court's judgment and also provocative, inflammatory, derogatory and inciting statement with an intent to wage war between the Hindu and Muslim communities".

 

The complainant alleged that such a statement by a popular public person who is also a sitting Member of Parliament is an "attempt to create hatred between the Hindu and Muslim communities and also incites the Muslim community to develop a distrust for the judiciary, against Hindu community and the secular and democratic setup of our country thus it is an effort to create riots and wage war in the country".

"We are a secular country which believes in the law of the land which secures and ensures equality among all the people irrespective of their caste, race, and religion but the influential public figures who have certainly an indelible impact on generation now and generations to come if would indulge in negative statements against the judgments passed by the honourable court of India which are in cohesion with the principles laid by the constitution of India, then how could the youth of India firmly believe in its secular and democratic nature," the complaint read.

 

Earlier, police lodged a complaint against Barq for supporting the Taliban.
