The National Federation Party has filed a Police complaint of inciting communal antagonism against the Fiji Sun.
A letter was submitted as a complaint to the Commissioner of Police Sitiveni Qiliho at the Totogo Police Station by NFP President, Pio Tikoduadua, Leader Biman Prasad, General Secretary Jagannath Sami, Vice Presidents Shiromani Singh and Leba Nabou and NFP Administrative Officer Kamal Iyer.
The complaint is from a letter printed in the Fiji Sun on Monday, October 9.
The letter, penned by Parmesh Prasad called on the NFP to ‘Stop claiming that you have the plight of Hindus at heart, we have stopped thinking along those lines’.
NFP party leader Professor Biman Prasad said the letter was clearly aimed at inciting religious antagonism, inflaming simplistic and sweeping political stereotypes under the false pretext of freedom of expression and opinion because it was not substantiated by fact or evidence.
