Lawfare – General, Others

A case has been registered against writer and activist Chakravarthy Sulibele following allegations that he made provocative remarks during an event at Koragajja Kshethra in Kuthar, police said on Monday.

The complaint filed by Congress representatives at the Ullal police station, claimed that Sulibele’s statements were intended to incite communal tensions.

The alleged remarks were made on March 9 during a foot march organised by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) from Kadri Temple to the Kuthar Koragajja Kshethra, they said.

According to the complaint, Sulibele’s speech included comments on inter-community relationships, which were deemed provocative.

Sharing a copy of the FIR registered against him on ‘X,’ Sulibele stated, “Another FIR filed against me, this time not for hate speech, but for advocating love. I simply said love knows no boundaries, and Hindu boys should break free from societal constraints to marry across communities. How can this be considered hate?”
