July 29, 2017 | By Sikh Siyasat Bureau
Rohtak: As per the media reports the court of additional district and sessions judge (ADSJ) Narinder Kaur at district court Rohatak has stayed the proceedings against Pro-Hindutva leader Ramdev in the ‘beheading remark’ case going on in the lower court of additional civil judicial magistrate (ACJM) Harish Goyal.
Earlier the court of ACJM had issued non-bailable warrants against Ramdev for August 3 after he failed to comply with the court’s summons under Sections 504 and 506 of Indian Penal Code.

Media sources while reporting on this matter stated that during a hearing on the revision petition filed by Ramdev on Thursday, senior advocate Satya Pal Jain argued that the lower court had hurriedly issued summons and warrants against Ramdev,and further claimed that the court is wrongly perceiving that his statement was particularly meant for the Muslim community.
It was on the bases of this unsubstantiated argument that the court of ADSJ stayed the proceedings against Ramdev in the lower court and announced September 12 as the next date for hearing.
The incident dates back to April 2016 when Ramdev being a brand ambassador of Haryana appointed by its BJP government while addressing a ‘Sadbhawna Sammelan’ in Rohtak stated that ”e could “behead lakhs of people refusing to chant Bharat Mata Ki Jai if he were not bound by law.”
It was believed that the above said statement was in response to All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaddudin Owaisi’s statement, who had reportedly said that he would not chant Bharat Mata Ki Jai even if a knife was put to his throat.
A day after his statement, Congress leader Subhash Batra had lodged a complaint against Ramdev with the police. However, when the police did not act, Subhash Batra approached the court to take action against Ramdev, reports Hindustan Times (HT).
