The FIR was lodged against vice president of All India Hindu Mahasabha Sadhvi Deva Thakur at Sadder police station yesterday on the directions of Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Srinagar V S Bhau.
The CJM had directed Station House Officer of the police station to register a case against the accused under relevant provisions on an application by former Secretary of Jamiat-e-Ahlihadeeth A R Bhat, seeking action against the Hindu leader.
An FIR has been lodged against Sadhvi for "promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony", a police official said.
Sadhvi had on April 12 said "the population of Muslims and Christians is growing day by day. To rein in this, the Centre will have to impose emergency, and Muslims and Christians will have to be forced to undergo sterilisation so that they can't
increase their numbers."
She had also exhorted Hindus to have more children and increase their population so as to have an effect on the world. In another controversial remark, she had said idols of Hindu gods and goddesses should be placed in mosques and churches, while coming out strongly in support of installing a statue of "patriot" Nathuram Godse, the assassin of Mahatma Gandhi, in Haryana.
