The Delhi High Court on July 21, in a detailed order, set aside the lower court’s order for registration of FIR against Alok Kumar, Senior Advocate & Working President of Vishwa Hindu Parishad.
Vandalisation of temple by Muslim boys
In July 2019, some Muslim boys vandalised a Hindu temple at Lal Kuan in Old Delhi. Some idols of Gods were also broken. Naturally Hindus opposed it and Vishwa Hindu Parishad led this protest.
Congress leader Harsh Mander tried to frame VHP leader Alok Kumar
Harsh Mander, who was a member of Sonia Gandhi’s kitchen cabinet, wrote a letter to the Delhi Police, in which he said that a sanyasi from Kashi had given a provocative speech in a meeting of Vishwa Hindu Parishad.
Mander demanded registration of an FIR against him. The name of Alok Kumar was also not there in this letter. After investigation, the police found that there was nothing objectionable in Sanyasi’s speech.
Mander then requested the court to order the police to register an FIR. He also added the name of Alok Kumar in this application. However, Mander did not state in the petition that Alok Kumar had given any speech in that meeting, nor that he was present in the meeting, nor that he had organised this meeting.
It was only written in the petition that Alok Kumar is the working president of Vishwa Hindu Parishad. Despite this, the magistrate ordered that an FIR be registered against him.
Alok Kumar challenged the court order to file FIR against him
Alok Kumar challenged this order in the High Court. In the very first hearing, the court stayed the FIR. The complete decision of this matter has been pronounced today on Friday 21 July 2023. Delhi High Court in its order has quashed the order for registration of FIR against shri Alok Kumar.
Observations made by High Court
The High Court observed that there was no allegation against shri Alok Kumar in the petition. Even if everything written in Mander’s petition is to be accepted as true, no blame can be made out against Kumar. The High Court said that even if there was no enmity between Hindus and Muslims due to the speeches given in the gathering, then even by the orders of FIRs etc., conditions may be created for this enmity to spread. Courts should exercise caution while passing their orders.
High Court’s decision is a befitting reply to sycophants of Sonia Gandhi
Today’s decision of the Honourable High Court is a deep slap on the faces of Sonia Gandhi’s sycophants Harsh Mander and all those anti-Hindus and anti-nationals who are continuously active in their efforts to make the nationalist forces victims of their tainted mentality.
