<b>PIL filed for criminal cases against PM, Sonia </b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Indore, Sept 15: A petition has been filed in a court in Indore seeking registration of criminal cases against Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Union Law Minister Hansraj Bharadwaj for allegedly hurting religious sentiments of Hindus due to the controversial affidavits on the Ram Setu issue in the Supreme Court.
Archaeological Survey of India's (ASI) affidavits questioning the existence of Lord Ram and the man-made bridge `Rama Setu', have hurt religious sentiments of Hindus, petitioner Suresh Sahu claimed in his complaint filed before Judicial Magistrate V S Muvel on Friday.
The Centre's claims were "vengeful" and the construction in the Ram Setu area was "inappropriate", Sahu's lawyer Deepal Rawa said.
"The Centre's move to withdraw the affidavits confirms that the crime has been committed," he said, adding that the petitioner sought registration of criminal cases against Singh, Gandhi, Bharadwaj and two senior bureaucrats. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
