“Police will act on Geelani's speech”
Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI: Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram on Friday rejected BJP leader Arun Jaitley's charge that the Union Gvernment had abdicated its duty to protect the country's unity and integrity by allowing a seminar here on Thursday in which anti-India voices were raised.
He said the police would take action in accordance with law over the speeches made by hardline Hurriyat Conference leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani and others.
“I strongly reject Arun Jaitley's charge that the Centre was doing nothing when a seminar was held on Thursday in which Syed Ali Shah Geelani and others participated,'' Mr. Chidambaram said in a statement.
The Minister said the authorities had videographed the entire seminar and submitted them to legal advisers for their opinion whether law was volated.
“If it is established prima facie that the laws have been violated, the Delhi Police will take action in accordance with the law.''
Mr. Chidambaram's reaction came within hours of Mr. Jaitley's statement.
