NEW DELHI: A Delhi-based lawyer has filed a complaint against Hyundai India, KIA India, KFC India and Pizza Hut India and requested the Delhi Police to lodge an FIR against said companies for the alleged offence of challenging the sovereignty of our country.
He also demanded the Union minister of corporate affairs to deregister these companies.
The complainant, Vineet Jindal stated that the said companies recently posted on their social media account offensive statements challenging the sovereignty of the country.
The statements and posts of the said company have been drawing condemnation from Twitterati in the majority, he stated.
Jindal requested MCA to de-register them and ban them from doing business in India and also sought Delhi Police to lodge an FIR against them for the offence under Sections 121A,153, 153a,504,505 of IPC and IT Act.
According to the complaint, the controversial post targeting the sovereignty of India by these multinational companies to gain business profit in Pakistan is highly deplorable. These MNC's have intently made atrocious statements on public platforms accessed by millions of users to challenge the sovereignty and integrity of India and their actions can cause national riots, communal disharmony and is an act of waging war against India.
He further stated that, it has been a well known that Kashmir has been a sensitive issue and a cause of conflict between India and Pakistan for the last many years. Kashmir is an integral part of India is a well-known fact to the world. But these companies in their self-interest and to draw business profits from Pakistan have now gone to the extent of using social media platform posts to show their support and propagate so-called Kashmir solidarity day by using objectionable references for Kashmir that are instigating in nature and thus further aggravating the cause of conflict among the two nations.
The statements and posts by the said companies are provoking and instigating to the masses of India and would create an atmosphere of tension, hatred and hostility among different communities within the country and cause a threat to the peace and harmony of the country.
