BREAKING: Gauhati High Court refuses to quash FIR against one Taher Ahmed Barbhuiya accused of glorifying Tehreek-E-Taliban.
Taher, on his Facebook wall, had allegedly posted "Ek Itihash Srishti Holo, Taliban Jindabad" (A history has been created, long live #Taliban).
Court said that "assertions made in the FIR, in fact, disclose commission of a cognizable offence...It cannot be said that the action incorporated in...Section 39 of the UAPA is not done with the intention to further the activities of #terrorist organization."
Court added, "He had eulogized ‘Tehreek-e-Taliban’, a terrorist organization, by his social media post. No doubt the said organization has no foothold or presence in India. But, they have targeted Indian citizens through violent means." #Taliban#SocialMedia
"They (Taliban) have also forged alliance with groups, states and interests which are bent on creating chaos and committing terrorist attack in #India in order to destabilize our country, " Court stressed.
Court also took note of Additional Public Prosecutor's argument that Taher's intention could be gathered from his previous conduct and against him four cases of similar nature are already pending in different Police Stations. @ISalilTiwari reports lawbeat.in/top-stories/ga…
