To: Mr Sanjeev Kumar Verma-THE FOREIGN CORRESPONDENTS' CLUB OF SOUTH ASIA

To,

Mr Sanjeev Kumar Verma,

Manager- THE FOREIGN CORRESPONDENTS' CLUB OF SOUTH ASIA,

Sir,

After BJP leader Yogi Adityanath elected as CM of Uttar Pradesh, two US based newspapers viz, Washington Post & New York Times published highly objectionable and derogatory articles about Yogi Adityanath, the links of these articles pasted below.

As you know, such derogatory, foul and un-parliamentary language against any elected representative and decision of democratically elected members of the legislature comes under Breach of Privilege Rules 272.

So, with this email, Legal Rights Observatory- LRO demands unconditional and immediate apology from both newspapers mentioned above, otherwise LRO will move request to Speaker of Uttar Pradesh Assembly ( After new Speaker gets elected) to admit Breach Of Privilege Motion against both newspapers.

Parallelly LRO will explore all possible legal options to contain and punish malicious propaganda and smear campaign by Washington Post and New York times against Indian leaders.

Complaint Lodged Against Sagarika Ghose at Lucknow Police For Malicious Tweet Against Yogi Adityanath

मा.मुख्यमंत्रीजी के संदर्भ मी बदनामी के खिलाफ शिकायत पत्र.

प्रति:- मा. पुलिस अधीक्षक, लखनौ- उत्तर प्रदेश,

विषय:- मा. योगी आदित्यनाथ जी- मुख्यमंत्री, उत्तर प्रदेश के बारे में सहेतु गलत और आपत्तिजनक जानकारी फ़ैलाने हेतु पत्रकार सागरिका घोष पर FIR दाखिल करने के संदर्भ में

महोदय,
 राज्य के नवनिर्वाचित मुख्यमंत्री मा. योगी आदित्यनाथ जी समाज में एक बेहद सम्मानित और उच्चपदस्थ व्यक्तित्व है. पिछले कई सालोंसे वे राजनीति में सक्रीय है. लेकिन पत्रकार श्रीमती. सागरिका घोष, जो टाइम्स ऑफ़ इण्डिया में वरिष्ठ संपादक के पद पर कार्यरत है, तथा विभिन्न टीवी चैनलोमें भी सदा सक्रीय रहती है, उन्होंने योही आदित्यनाथ जी की बदनामी करने तथा उनकी छवि धूमिल करने हेतु Twitter पर कुछ आपत्तिजनक चीजे डाली. बाद में इन्होने स्वयं इन चीजोंको हटा कर सफाई दे डाली, किन्तु तब तक योगी जी की छवि को जो नुकसान होना था वो हो चूका था.
सबसे पहले इन्होने जो चीज डाली वो तो अभी उपलब्ध नहीं है, लेकिन इस लिंक पर उसली छवि उपलब्ध है. https://twitter.com/rajalakshmij/status/843192449216401409 जिसमे उन्होंने दावा किया है की योगी आदित्यनाथ जी ने मृत मुस्लिम महिलाओंपर भी बलात्कार करने की हिमायत की.
बाद में जब लोगोने इसकी निंदा शुरू की तब जाकर उन्होंने अपनीही बात से पलट कर इस लिंक पर कहा https://twitter.com/sagarikaghose/status/843146510963372033 की एक व्यक्ति ने योगी जी जिस मंच पर विराजमान थे उसी मंच से ये बात कही.
इससे पहले भी सागरिका घोष जी ऐसे निंदनीय कृत्य करते हुए पकड़ी गयी है.
इसलिए, इसी आवेदन के साथ मै आपसे करबद्ध निवेदन करता हु, की सम्बंधित पत्रकार सागरिका घोष जी के खिलाफ IT Act-2000, तथा अफवाह फैलाना और सांप्रदायिक तनाव फ़ैलाने के संदर्भ में उचित IPC की अलग अलग समुचित धाराओंके अंतर्गत प्राथमिकी दर्ज कर के (FIR) कठोर से कठोर करवाई की जाए, ताकि ऐसी गलती फिर से दोहराने की हिम्मत ना हो.

भवदीय,

Intimation of Legal Action against India Today TV Channel 

Dear Mr Puneet Jain,

Group Chief Corporate Affairs Officer

Group Chief Law & Compliance Officer

TV Today Network Ltd.

India Today Mediaplex

Sir,

In a TV debate program on India Today TV channel after declaration of the name of Yogi Adityanath, as BJP's new Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Rajedeep Sardesai referred that Yogi Adityanath had professed the idea of raping dead Muslim women by pulling them out of the grave.  The allegation against Yogi stands baseless unless your channel tenders evidence supporting it. Mr Rajdeep's wife had made same allegation on Twitter against Yogi, which she withdrawn by deleting the tweet and putting fresh tweet saying it was not Yogi, (Please follow this link for her comment https://twitter.com/rajalakshmij/status/843192449216401409 and this link for her rebuttal https://twitter.com/sagarikaghose/status/843146510963372033 )but his supporter said so, in Yogi's presence.

Rajdeep Sardesai repeatedly found guilty of forgery par excellence, lie, manipulative journalism tactics, reporting with ulterior motives and character assassination of people belonging to particular ideologies. 

Hence, Mr Rajdeep Sardesai and India Today group are liable for prosecution under 30 various IPC Clauses and Cyber Crime clauses under Information Technology Act-2000, related to forgery, cheating, spreading rumors, creating and flaring up communal tensions and religious riots, and spreading lies through digital and electronic media.

With this email, I am demanding immediate sacking of Mr Rajdeep Sardesai from India Today Group, otherwise I would be compelled to make whole editorial board of your group along with you, to make co-party in a litigation against Mr Rajdeep Sardesai. I hope You, as a Chief Corporate Affairs Officer of the Group and Chief Law & Compliance Officer of TV Today Network Ltd, will take my email seriously and will immediately sack Mr Rajdeep Sardesai from your channel.

If India Today Group doesn't comply with my demand within 7 days of issuance of this notice, I will approach appropriate legal authority to start necessary action against Mr Rajdeep Sardesai and India Today Group, which may spoil millions of rupees from Group's exchequer in fighting it out. 

 Attaching here, the video of Rajdeep Sardesai attributing Yogi Adityanath to rape dead Muslim women.

Assam's Disastrous Sterilization Drive, Gross Imbalance in Hindus & Muslims Sterilization Exposed by RTI Activist

Young RTI Activist from Assam, Amarjyoti Borthakur and Saumitra Goswamy has exposed gross anomaly and criminal imbalance in male and female sterilization of people of Assam on religious lines. The state which is reeling under intense pressure of illegal Bangladeshi influx, has only aggressively implemented family planning/ sterilization drive in Hindus. The Muslim majority districts of lower Assam or say Brahmaputra valley has alarmingly showing same percent of sterilization in Hindus and Muslims, even when Muslim population is much more than Hindus.

 With such a highly disturbing data in hand, Amarjyoti is seriously exploring various ways to balance the gross imbalance between. He smells the conspiracy behind this imbalance to push already dwindling Hindu population of Assam. While talking in Guwahati, fuming Amarjyoti asked few awkward questions to Government of Assam regarding its seriousness to changing scenario in religious demographics of Assam. He asked, whether this imbalance in sterilization drive was meticulously planned or just administrative snag?
Whatever he has derived through RTI, is really serious in nature and even after BJP came to power last year, the scenario might not have changed much as the government machinery which is enforcing such drives on ground is as it is.
Something must be seriously done in this regard.

To,

Shri Sanjay Deshmukh,

Vice Chancellor,

University of Mumbai,

Subject:- Complaint About Mrs.Mugdha Karnik, Director of the Center of Extra-Mural Studies under Mumbai University

Dear Sir,

On March 12, 2017 Mumbai University's Director of the Center of Extra-Mural Studies Mrs.Mugdha Karnik, has published article in Marathi daily Divya Marathi, about RSS and its affiliate groups and their so called involvement in the child trafficking from North East Indian states to elsewhere in India. The article was highly objectionable, biased, packed with lies, intentionally aimed at character assassination of RSS organization and people associated with it.

As Mrs Mugdha Karnik is official of Mumbai university, the article has created the perception among its readers that the opinion expressed in the article belongs to Mumbai University, which is harmful for your institution.

After the publication of that article, i have initiated legal action against said newspaper and Mrs Mugdha Karnik under various IPC sections and provisions of Information Technology Act.

With this letter, I am requesting you, As Administrative and Executive Head of Mumbai University to start disciplinary action against Mrs Mugdha Karnik for violation of standard norms of University employee by setting up inquiry committee on behavior of Mugdha Karnik.

If my request is not honored, I will take various legal corrective measures against Mumbai University and will approach Human Resources Development Ministry to punish guilty official attached to Mumbai University.

If the necessity is felt, my lawyer will include your name as witness in future Criminal Defamation Court Suit against Mrs Karnik.

दि. १२ मार्च २०१७ च्या दै. दिव्य मराठीच्या लेखात, गेल्या वर्षी इंग्रजी साप्ताहिक आउटलुक मध्ये नेहा दीक्षित यांनी केलेल्या संघ आणि समितीवरील खोट्या आणि द्वेषमुलक आरोपांचा पुनरुच्चार करण्यात आलेला आहे. सदर आरोप करताना लेखिका मुग्धा कर्णिक अथवा संपादक यांनी कोणत्याही संघटनेच्या पदाधिकाऱ्याजवळ संपर्क साधून आरोपांची सत्यता पडताळण्याची तसदी घेतलेली दिसत नाही.

सदर लेखात करण्यात आलेल्या आरोपांबद्दल नोटीस मिळाल्यापासून १५ दिवसांच्या आत सदर लेखाबद्दल बिनशर्त माफी नं मागितल्यास अथवा समाधानकारक पुरावे मला न दिल्यास मी, लेखिका म्हणून मुग्धा कर्णिक आणि दैनिकाचे संपादक यांच्याविरुद्ध रोन्ग्चू पोलीस ठाणे, गारो हिल्स- मेघालय  येथे भारतीय दंड संहितेच्या कलम 505 (1)b, 505(1)c, 505(3), 599, Information Technology Act-2000 आणि अन्य कठोर कायद्याच्या तरतुदी अंतर्गत आपल्या विरोधात तक्रार दाखल करून कठोर कारवाईची प्रक्रिया सुरु करेन. आणि याशिवाय गरज भासल्यास माझ्या वकीलामार्फत मा. गुवाहाटी उच्च न्यायालयात आपणाविरोधात रीतसर खटला दाखल करेन.
अशा प्रकारच्या खटल्यामुळे आपल्या वैयक्तिक आर्थिक अथवा सामाजिक नुकसानीस मी जबाबदार राहणार नाही याची कृपया नोंद घेण्यात यावी.

कळावे,
