Prashant Bhushan files criminal complaint against Madhu Kishwar

Politician and lawyer-activist Prashant Bhushan, who has previously shared an unverified image with wrong information to score a political point, has now filed a criminal complaint against social activist and professor Madhu Kishwar, who is known for speaking her mind, for giving benefit of doubt to those who are accused in the rape and murder of the year old girl in Kathua.

On 14th April, Madhu Kishwar tweeted that she suspected the girl was killed by the Rohingyas, who have a history of terrorist activity and being settled in Jammu.

On this, Bhushan filed an FIR against Kishwar claiming the above statement amounts to ‘hate speech’, punishable under various sections of the Indian Penal Code.

Interestingly, Bhushan, who is taking the high moral ground here, himself has dragged religion and politics in the shocking molestation video which had emerged on social media in June last year.

Shocking how the rules which apply on Kishwar aren’t quite applicable on Bhushan himself.
