NEW DELHI, July 25 (PTI) — A petition seeking registration of a case against Jama Masjid Shahi Imam Abdullah Bukhari for allegedly declaring himself as an ISI agent at a public meeting, promoting disharmony and waging a war against the country was today moved before the Delhi High Court.
The petition by the Society for Securing Justice (SSJ), an NGO sought the registration of a case under Sections 121 (waging or attempting to wage war against the country), 124 (sedition), 153 (provocation for causing riots) and 153-A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion) against Imam Bukhari for allegedly making a provocative speech at a rally here on April 21.
