New Delhi, October 4: It might be called a coincidence or rarely seen efficiency by the Police but after Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy on Saturday said he was gathering proof of corruption against Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra, the Delhi Police have booked Swamy for spreading enmity between communities.

Delhi Police on Monday have registered a case of spreading enmity between communities against Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy for his remarks suggesting repeal of voting rights of Muslims.

The crime branch registered a case under Section 153A (spreading enmity between communities) of Indian Penal Code (IPC) for his newspaper article in July this year, a senior police official said.
A senior lawyer R K Anand had filed a complaint against Swamy in this regard. The National Commission for Minorities (NCM) had in August decided to file a case against Swamy for his remarks in the article.

The Harvard-educated economic scholar, Swamy in an article in a newspaper had suggested Indian Hindus collectively respond to terror acts.

He wrote, "We need a collective mindset as Hindus to stand against the Islamic terrorist. If any Muslim acknowledges his or her Hindu legacy, then we Hindus can accept him or her as a part of the Brihad Hindu Samaj (greater Hindu society) which is Hindustan."

Swamy had further said that, "Others, who refuse to acknowledge this, or those foreigners who become Indian citizens by registration, can remain in India but should not have voting rights (which means they cannot be elected representatives),".

Reacting to the registration of the case, Swamy said it was a ‘very stupid act’ on the part of Delhi police because they know very well that two police stations have already declined to register the FIR and many police stations around the country have refused to do so.

Subramanian Swamy on Saturday said he was gathering proof of corruption against Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra. Declining to share the ‘nature of the scam’ Vadra is allegedly involved in, Swamy said, "Whenever I make an attempt to expose corrupt individuals, my integrity is questioned."

Swamy said that he welcome such things because it really makes people understand how difficult it is to fight corruption when the people in power indulge in corruption.

“I think they feel that I am not going to stop after getting A Raja's head or Kanimozhi's head, I am going to the root of the matter and somehow they want to stop me,” said Swamy, who filed complaint in 2G scam.
