Jammu: Activists of a
Kashmiri Pandit organisation Tuesday filed a public interest
litigation (PIL) case, seeking action against writer-cum-activist
Arundhati Roy over her reported remarks in New York on
self-determination for the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
The PIL, filed in the Jammu and Kashmir High Court here, said that
the remarks were "untenable" because they were "anti-national".
Filed by Routes, an organisation of displaced Kashmiri Pandits,
the PIL demanded that Roy should be restrained from making
offensive remarks against India in reference to Jammu and Kashmir
within and outside of the country.
The PIL filed by Routes' members, Veer Saraf, Ajay Bhat and Vijay
Kashkari, alsosought impunding of her passport.
Speaking in New York recently, Roy had reportedly demanded an "end
to the brutal occupation of Kashmir" by India and also said that
its people must be given the "right to self determination".
