ICC Note:

With India’s national elections in full swing, many Christians have express deep concern over the fact that the Hindu nationalist party looks set to form India’s next national government. Recently, one BJP candidate has been called into court to answer for a video he uploaded to YouTube that many consider to be a hate speech against minorities in India. Is this the type of people who will be taking over India? Please keep Christians in India in your prayers.

4/24/2014 India (India TV News) – The Madras High court yesterday ordered issue of notice to the DGP and Sivaganga Lok Sabha BJP candidate H Raja, on a petition seeking action against him for his alleged hate speech which had been uploaded on ‘YouTube’.

Justice V Ramasubramanian and Justice V M Velumani of the Madurai Bench of the Court asked the petitioner to implead Raja as a respondent when the case came up for hearing.

The judges allowed a private notice to H Raja based on a petition filed by a Madurai based advocate.

The petitioner alleged that under the guise of attacking Seeman, founder of ‘Naam Thamilar’, Raja had made the speech in January last against social reformer E V R Periyar, Muslims and Christians and it showed ‘extreme level of hatred’, which was condemned by various organisations and a memorandum was presented to the DGP. But no action was taken.
