Moga: All India Sikh Students Federation (AISSF) today decided to move court against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for allegedly hurting religious sentiments after the AAP convener's photo appeared on the front page of a weekly showing him as 'Nihang'.
AISSF had directed its Delhi unit to file a case against Mr Kejriwal under IPC Section 295 A (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings), AISSF president Karnail Singh Peermohammed said in Moga.
"We are taking a serious note of it. The photo showing Kejriwal as 'Nihang' has hurt the sentiments of Sikhs," he said.
AISSF asked Mr Kejriwal to apologise or face action.
Arvind Kejriwal is already facing a similar case of hurting religious sentiments of Sikhs after the Youth Manifesto of AAP showed the picture of Golden Temple with the party's symbol broom superimposed on it.
The Nihang, belonging to a martial tradition begun by Sikh Gurus, are known for their bravery in the battlefield.
