Durga Shakti Nagpal
07 August 2013
Dalit Scholar Kamal Bharti was arrested after making allegedly derogatory remarks against Uttar Pradesh minister Azam Khan in a Facebook post about suspended bureaucrat Durga Shakti Nagpal, reported the PTI.
Bharti had posted that Nagpal was arrested for ordering the demolition of a mosque wall, but when a Madarsa in the state was abolished no action was taken against the officials who were deputed to execute the demolition. He had reportedly added: “It is the ‘will and wish’ of the Urban Development minister Azam Khan which prevails and not the law of the land”.
