It was registered under the Indian Penal Code's Section 153 A for promoting "enmity between different groups on the grounds of race, residence, language'' on Guwahati businessman Arun Pathak complaint. Pathak claimed the corrected version of the document is discriminatory as well. "The BJP's Delhi unit issued a clarification and termed us 'people from the northeast in Delhi'. This is equally offensive as the northeast does not only belong to people of northeastern origin. By using the phrase, the accused have further alienated the people of the region on the basis of their racial and geographical origin.'' _______________________________________________ assam mailing list [email protected] http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
