A BASELESS FIR: RAGHAV CHADHA

-

Reacting to the FIR, AAP MLA Raghav Chadha said in a statement, “At this vulnerable time when mankind and the country is facing an unpreceden­ted public health and economic crisis in the COVID-19 pandemic, we can overcome this challenge through a united effort. It is surprising that in such a situation the UP Police has used its energies to register a baseless FIR against me in Noida, at the behest of some known political operatives.” “However, I restrict myself to say only this, that the present FIR, from the very bare reading of it, is based on absolutely frivolous and erroneous grounds and warrants to be rejected with the contempt it deserves. Be that as it may, there are times in our lives, when we must focus on doing what’s best for our country, families and communitie­s, and set aside our difference­s and scoring petty political brownie points. This is one of those times when there are lives at stake. Therefore, this is not the time for name calling by exploiting a health crisis. We should all only endeavour to set aside all types of partisan-politics and direct all our energies on simply curbing the spread of this dangerous disease and protect the health of each one in our capacity. This is the time to put India first and humanity first,” he said.

“It would suffice to say that I have full faith in our judicial system and I say it with great certitude that the truth has an uncanny knack of oozing out eventually. Hence, “Truth Shall Prevail”.
