| The Centre has sought to backtrack in the Supreme Court some views it had conveyed in a case involving BJP leader Subramanian Swamy saying it was "merely the statement of fact and is not any expression, opinion or decision" of the official who had filed the affidavit.
"The counter affidavit filed by the answering respondent is in no way the conception of the answering respondent relating to the book in question written by the petitioner, which is the subject matter of challenge before the Courts below," a Union Home Ministry official said in the additional affidavit filed today.
"In that view of the matter, the submissions made in the counter affidavit particularly the contents of para 11 apart from supporting the validity of the provisions of law challenged by the petitioner, what is stated is merely the statement of fact and is not any expression/opinion or decision of the answering respondent," he said.
The official, in his earlier affidavit on Oct 28, had said that the petitioner, Mr Swamy, had written a book named Terrorism in India wherein he made hate speech against the community of India.
"The book--its theme, its language, its innuendos, the similes it employs and the moral of its story, if any-in order to ascertain whether the offending passages read in the context of the book as a whole fall within the mischief of Section 153A. The book to be considered in all its aspects as it contains matter which "promotes feelings of enmity and hatred between Hindus and Muslims in India." Therefore, the petition has violated sections of IPC," the earlier affidavit had said.
