Ramya faces sedition charge for ‘Pakistan not hell’ remarks

A petition has been filed against actor-politician Ramya at the office of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class Court at Somavarapete in Karnataka’s Madikeri, demanding that she should be booked under the sedition law for her comments on Pakistanis.

Referring to Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar’s recent remark “going to Pakistan is like going to hell,” the 33-year-old Congress leader had said, “Pakistan is not hell. People are just like us. They treated us very well.”

Advocate Vithal Gowda has filed the case against Ramya, apparently “appalled” that she praised a country that India blames for promoting terrorism in India.

The case will be heard on Saturday.
