Kamal Haasan booked for his remark on "Hindu terror"
FIChennai, Nov 3 (IBNS): A case was filed against veteran actor Kamal Haasan in a Varanasi court on Friday for his remark on "Hindu terror."
He has been booked under several sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) relating to defamation, attempt to cause offence, intent to hurt religious feelings and to incite communal disharmony.
The court will hear the case on Saturday.
In an article for a Tamil magazine, the veteran actor reportedly wrote: "In the past, Hindu right-wing groups would not indulge in violence, but they would hold a dialogue with the opposite parties on their arguments. But this old tactic was defeated and what they stated to do is use muscle power. They started indulging in violence.”
“The right wing cannot challenge talk of Hindu terrorists because terror has spread into their camp as well,” he noted.
