Kumar Ketkar's funny request to court for halting legal action

Kumar Ketkar creating trouble to Express Group by shirking his responsibility.

Former Loksatta(Marathi daily) editor Kumar Ketkar has filed his written statement to Khed court requesting halting legal action against him,started by Dapoli court.In a funny and entertaining letter submitted to Khed court Ketkar has made few ridiculous claims which clearly shows that HE was never prepared to face any type of legal actions against him for his baseless,venomous articles against Indian judiciary and Hindu organisations. HERE is gist of his claims.

1) Complainant has not placed the evidences before court which proves that the said article was written by ME (That means Kumar Ketkar)

2) There is no organisation with name Sangh Parivar,so no question of it's defamation arises.(It means Ketkar was calling shots against NON-EXISTANT entity !!!)

3)  " No action should be taken against me as I had been conferred with prestigious PADMASHRI award".(Ketkar totally lost his consciousness regarding his PADMASHRI award while lodging serious allegations against Indian Judiciary !!! )

4) Complainant is making mental harassment by filing the case against me,SO it should be stopped.(But Ketkar forgot to clarify under which circumstances he targeted Indian Courts and Judicial apparatus)

     Kumar Ketkar's written statement before court clearly shows that he is trying to drag Loksatta newspaper-his former employer to court by avoiding his responsibility  for articles written under his editorship.

Ending a 10-year boycott of Narendra Modi imposed after the 2002 riots, the UK on Thursday said it has decided to resume engagement with Gujarat, prompting the chief minister to welcome the move as "better late than never".

The British government has asked its envoy to India, James Bevan, to visit Gujarat and meet Modi and other senior figures in the state to discuss a wide range of issues of mutual interest, explore opportunities for closer cooperation and secure "justice for the families of the British nationals killed in 2002".

"Der aaye, durasta aaye (Better late than never)!! I welcome UK govt's step for active engagement & strengthening relations with Gujarat. God is Great," Modi tweeted, reacting to Britain's Foreign Office Minister Hugo Swire's statement.

Earlier in a statement here, Swire said he has asked the British High Commissioner in New Delhi to visit Gujarat. "This will allow us to discuss a wide range of issues of mutual interest and to explore opportunities for closer cooperation, in line with the British Government's stated objective of improving" bilateral ties with India, he said.

"The UK has a broad range of interests in Gujarat. We want to secure justice for the families of the British nationals who were killed in 2002. We want to support human rights and good governance in the state. "We also want to provide the best possible support to British nationals who live in, work in or visit Gujarat; and to the many Gujaratis who now make up one of the most successful and dynamic communities in the UK," he said.

As part of its commitment to strengthen ties with India, the UK has an interest "in ensuring that we provide a full and consistent range of services across the whole country. "I feel that active engagement will help further these interests. We will consider in the light of the high commissioner's visit how best to take forward our relationship with Gujarat," Swire said.

Lord Swraj Paul, leading NRI industrialist welcomed the British government's decision, saying it was long overdue. "Modi is a democratically-elected leader of Gujarat, not once but twice. I am glad that the British government has decided to engage with the Gujarat chief minister," Paul said.

Post-Godhra riots, the UK took a policy decision not to have active engagement with Gujarat. Modi, since 2003, has not visited Britain.
