Delhi Advocate Amita Sachdeva on wednesday filed a complaint against AISA President Neha Bora over her remarks on Brahmin women and temple priests, declaring that such statements promote hostility and disharmony between different groups.
“… I learnt about Neha Bora’s remarks that Brahmin women are unsafe under Brahmanism. I strongly condemned this. Such statements create hostility and disharmony between communities… The police have assured me they will consult senior officers and consider appropriate action… Following the incident, many political leaders criticised AISA president Neha Bora’s remarks.
Speaking to ANI, Sachdeva mentioned that she has registered her police complaint under Section 196 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The complainant added that if Delhi Police takes no action on the matter, she will approach the court under Section 175 sub-section 3 of the BNS seeking registration of an FIR report. I have filed a police complaint under Section 196 of the BNS. I will wait for a few days, approach the DCP if necessary, and, if no action is taken, move the court under Section 175(3) of the BNSS seeking registration of an FIR…” said Sachdeva.
Union Minister Chirag Paswan said that while caste- and religion-based discrimination still existed, political leaders should highlight examples that promote social harmony rather than division.
