New Delhi:The petition demanding action against Union Minister Ravneet Bittu for making a statement on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has been withdrawn from the Delhi High Court. During the hearing on Monday, the petitioner said that different FIRs have been filed in this case, so now the petition is being withdrawn. After that, the bench headed by Acting Chief Justice Manmohan allowed the withdrawal of the petition.
The petition, filed by Hindu Sena chief Surjeet Singh Yadav, alleges that Bittu used derogatory language against Rahul Gandhi in a press briefing on September 15. It has sought action against against Bittu on ground that his statement can pose a threat to public peace and harmony.
The petition states that Bittu in his statement, said that Rahul Gandhi is not an Indian and has spent most of his time abroad. He even alleged that Rahul Gandhi does not love the country and so he goes abroad and speaks wrongly there.
"Those who are most wanted, separatists, experts in making bombs, guns and gunpowder are praising Rahul Gandhi. The enemies of the country who want to blow up airplanes, trains and roads are supporters of Rahul Gandhi. If there is any such award for catching the country's number one terrorist, then it should be given against Rahul Gandhi because he is the country's biggest enemy," Bittu had said.
