Raj lawyers urge FIRs against Arundhati Roy
Some advocates have lodged a complaint at a police station in Jaipur as to why no FIR was registered by police against writer and activist Arundhati Roy for her comments on Kashmir.
Roy had said at a seminar in New Delhi last month that Kashmir was never an integral part of India, which had drawn criticism by some sections of society who demanded that the activist be booked with sedition charges.
Police, however, have not registered any FIR against Roy, maintaining that any decision in the matter will be taken after examining all the legal aspects and its jurisdiction.
"What Arundhati has said is anti-national and seditious so we demand that an FIR be lodged against Roy under sections 124-A, 153-A, 153-B, 500 of IPC," Laxman Singh, one of the advocates, told PTI today.
Kushal Singh, SHO Ashok Nagar police station, said that the legal aspects are being examined and decision on the complaint will be taken after that.
