Show-cause notice against Javed Akthar for comparing RSS to Taliban
A Thane court has issued a show-cause notice to poet-lyricist Javed Akhtar on a complaint by a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) member over the former “drawing parallel” between the organisation and Taliban during a TV interview earlier this month.

New Delhi, 28 September 2021

As per news report of The Indian Express, the complainant alleged that Akhtar made defamatory remarks and was “well-planned” to defame RSS and “discourage, disparage and misguide” the people who have joined RSS. The Chief Judicial Magistrate’s court in Thane issued show-cause notice to Akhtar asking him to respond before November 12. The complainant said that Akhtar, a former Rajya Sabha member, that the goal of RSS is the same as that of the Taliban “even after the highest democratically elected office bearers of Bharat like the incumbent president, vice-president, prime minister and several cabinet ministers…have been supporters and members of RSS”.
