Amitabh Bachchan in legaltrouble over Quran remark

[SwAggeR]

A petition was filed in the
Allahabad High Court accusing
Bollywood superstar Amitabh
Bachchan of having made a
"derogatory" remark, "with
malicious intention", about a Holy book in a more than a
year-old episode of the TV quiz
show Kaun Banega Crorepati.
The petition was filed by Mudassir Ullah Khan, a resident
of Jhansi, who has taken
exception to the use of the
phrase "racha
gaya" (composed) in the
context of the Holy book by Bachchan in the episode aired
on 28.09.2011. The petitioner has sought to
make Bachchan, besides the
manager of Sony TV and the
'Karyakram
Prayojak' (programme sponsor)
of Kaun Banega Crorepati a party in the case. Khan has contended the Holy
book was "neither written nor
created by anybody, rather it
came into existence/revealed
by Allah (God) Himself" and
hence the use of the phrase "racha gaya" was tantamount
to "a serious offence" as
Bachchan was a "popular
figure" and "words used by
him affect all communities". Khan has also challenged
orders of Chief Judicial
Magistrate and District and
Sessions Judge of Jhansi, dated
29.11.2011 and 21.5.2012
respectively, whereby his pleas for directing the police to
register an FIR under Indian
Penal Code sections dealing
with hurt caused to religious
sentiments were turned down. Khan has also submitted that
while the CJM had dismissed his
complaint "illegally and
without application of mind",
the District Judge turned down
his subsequent criminal revision terming it as "frivolous
and vexatious" besides
submitting that no objection
was raised by any "school,
institution or the
Mohammadan community" nor was there any "fatwa" issued
against Amitabh Bachchan. The petition is likely to come
up for hearing before a Bench
next week.

One can enjoy such degree of nonsense freedom only in India and still our neighbours cry hoarse about infringement of minority rights.

The case relates to a complaint filed against Naik by Mudassar Ullah Khan, a resident of Jhansi in 2008. Khan alleged that Naik had given a speech on his Peace TV spewing hatred against non-Muslims. In April, the additional district sessions judge at Jhansi issued summons asking Naik to appear before the court on May 12. Naik approached the Allahabad high court for a stay.

BUt from the look of it ..atleast he is secular

There is thread don this forum being discussed for past 2 days.

A Indian Muslim was not allowed to grow Beard and he went to court. Court sent notice to Central and State govt.

So, sorry, this Indian Muslim don''t agree with you.

So don't make one line statement based on an incident that happened decades ago.

Kamal Hassan is a Superstar in Southern India.

The Tamil Nadu government on Wednesday night banned the screening of Kamal Hassan's "Vishwaroopam" following strong protests from various Muslim organisations over alleged depiction of their community in a negative light

Official sources said the state government has asked the respective district collectors to invoke necessary legal provisions to maintain law and order. The ban came hours after the Muslim groups petitioned the government, seeking a ban.

A group of 20-odd organisations under a common banner submitted a memorandum to Home Secretary R Rajagopal to press for their demand, a day after taking up the matter with city police.

MH Jawahirullah, MLA and president of Tamil Nadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam, told reporters that the movie "targets Muslims and their beliefs".

Mohammed Haneefa, coordinator of Federation of Islamic Movements and Political Parties, said the community would not accept such portrayal even if certain scenes are deleted.

"We intend to register our apprehensions that release of the film with (even) deleted scenes or changes will affect the social harmony and all-round peace in the state," he said.

The move comes days after Haasan, who directs and stars in the movie, held a special show for them.

The big budget movie has been made in Tamil, Hindi and Telegu.

Haasan has already clarified that Muslims are not shown in a objectionable manner in the film but that has failed to soothe frayed tempers of the community, which blames him of having a history of doing so in earlier films like "Hey Ram" and "Unnai Pol Oruvan", the latter a remake of Hindi hit "A Wednesday". Hassan had played the role of Naseruddin Shah in the original.

Hasan has been facing lot of hurdles with his latest movie, which has been made on a huge budget. His decision to show it on a DTH platform ahead of its theatrical release was faced with strong protests by screen-owners recently.

He was forced to drop his plans to have a DTH premiere first after the protests but moved the Competition Commission of India against Tamil Nadu theatre owners for allegedly restricting the release.

Kindly save Indian Hindus too ? Will Hafeez Saeed give invitation to Amitabh Bacchan too.

@KRAIT, you just took the words right out of my mouth. The nice guy and gracious host that Hafizzzzz is he may also send a plane ticket to Amitabh Bacchan when he sends one to Shahrukh Khan.
