New Delhi, February 2: The owner of a Hindutva website has been sent a legal notice by Congress MP Rahul Gandhi for publishing slanderous literature about him. The website run by NRI Rohit Vyasman — hinduunity.org — had been banned by ISPs in India following a Mumbai police request in April 2004 for propagating anti-Muslim articles.

After the original posting on Rahul Gandhi on the website had been copied by other websites, Rahul Gandhi decided to trace where the original write-up had come from.

A notice has been sent via e-mail and to a post box number belonging to Vyasman in the United States.

Senior lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi’s legal notice said “this publication exceeds and excels even the worst standards of scurrilous, perverted gutter writing — acting at the behest of maliciously motivated elements who cannot stand Rahul Gandhi’s standing and popularity in India and abroad.” We intend to prosecute you and conspirators under all relevant civil and criminal laws.”
