New Delhi:
It is a minor political war in cyber space. An angry Bharatiya
Janata Party (BJP) has alleged that the Congress party "bought" a
website mimicking the BJP's own which re-directed all hits to the
All India Congress Committee (AICC) site. The BJP has served a
legal notice, an official said Sunday.
"Yes, we have served a legal notice," a BJP official said.
The BJP was worried over low hits to its website on Sep 30, the
day the Ayodhya verdict was out. Those who tried to visit the BJP
website were disappointed as it was re-directed to aicc.com, said
a party official.
Party officials said a "cyber case legal notice" was sent to the
AICC headquarters here Friday. The BJP's website is bjp.org.
The BJP alleges that the AICC "bought" a website bjp.com from a
foreigner to "mislead" the people visiting its website.
According to the BJP, more than 40 lakh hits were received on the
'bjp.com' site on Sep 30, and users were automatically redirected
to the AICC site.
The private website is owned by Bharat Janata Prakashan, allege
BJP officials.
