(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - 'Deeply offended' by the article written by Janata Party leader Subramanian Swamy suggesting revoking of Muslim voting rights, National Commission for Minorities (NCM) today said it will decide on August 2 what action could be taken against him.
The Commission took note of the article a fortnight back and is in the process of examining it, Wajahat Habibullah, Chairman of NCM, told pti here.
'The article has been circulated among the members. They have studied it. The Commission has found it deeply offensive.
Now, it is being examined and it has been pointed out that a number of Indian Penal Code (sections) have been violated,' Habibullah said.
The Harvard-educated economic scholar, Swamy in an article in a newspaper had suggested Indian Hindus to collectively respond to terror acts.
Asked if the Commission would take any action in the matter, Habibullah said 'the matter is being examined. We have certain proposals that would be taken up in next meeting on coming Tuesday.' But he refused to divulge them.
Meanwhile, upset over his article, a group of Harvard students are urging the varsity authorities to sever ties with Swamy who teaches economics at the prestigious University every summer.
