A local court today accepted a complaint seeking to register a case of sedition against Congress leader and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijay Singh for allegedly describing yoga guru Ramdev as a 'fraud'.
Chief Judicial Magistrate R C Malviya accepted the complaint filed by advocate Sudhir Ojha who sought to book Singh under section 154(A) (sedition), 153 (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot) and 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace) of the IPC.
Malviya recorded the statement of a witness of the case Aditya Kumar and fixed June 16 as next date of hearing.
On Saturday, Singh had dubbed Ramdev's indefinite fast as a "five-star satyagraha" sponsored by RSS and VHP to divert people's attention from "Sanghi terror".
He had alleged that this campaign by VHP and RSS "is to undo the Constitution and Parliamentary democracy by encouraging people like Baba Ramdev to go on such fast."
