Kolkata: A Kolkata court on Tuesday issued an arrest warrant against Congress leader and former Union Minister Shashi Tharoor in a case filed over his remark last year that BJP's victory in the 2019 general elections will turn the country into a "Hindu Pakistan".

The warrant has been issued by the Magistrate Metropolitan Court in Kolkata on the basis of a petition filed by Sumeet Chowdhary, a city-based lawyer.

During a speech last year, the Congress leader from Thiruvananthapuram had said that BJP's return to power for the second term would pave the way for the creation of a Hindu Pakistan.


Petitioner Chowdhary alleged Tharoor's comment created disharmony and was "a deliberate and malicious act intended to outrage religious feelings".


Tharoor was also sued under Section 2 of the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971.

This person is about the most secular politician you can find in India.

Guy killed his own wife

Those are the allegations against him, not proven. I saw one of his interviews on Al Jazeera where he was defending India's stand on something. I literally doubt he killed his own wife.

That's a bummer. How is walking free though? Was it just a rumour or is there any hard evidence against him?

No hard evidence, just put on him by Right wing haters.
