Gauri Lankesh Murder: K'taka BJP issues legal-notice to Ramachandra Guha

Renowned Indian historian and writer Ramachandra Guha found himself in the midst of a legal trouble following his statements insinuating the Sangh Parivar was behind the killing of Gauri Lankesh. Karnataka BJP Yuva Morcha Secretary, Karunakar Khasale, sent a legal notice to Guha, demanding an unconditional apology from him within three days after receiving the same or face civil and criminal proceedings. Know more!

Comments
A climate of hate and discord and suspicion: Guha

During a Scroll.in interview, Ramachandra Guha stated, "It is very likely that her (Lankesh's) murderers came from the same Sangh Parivar from which the murderers of Dabholkar, Pansare, and Kalburgi came." He also said "the ruling dispensation in Delhi" created a climate of "hate and intolerance." BJP's legal notice stated the writer-historian had made similar remarks in his column in the Hindustan Times.

Information
Guha accused of illegal interference in course of justice

The notice accused Guha of tarnishing BJP's image and reputation. It stated his comments were "clearly accusative and defamatory in nature." It also accused him of influencing and misleading the ongoing investigations into the killings of Govind Pansare, Narendra Dhabolkar, MM Kalburgi, and Gauri Lankesh.

Twitter Post
