Hajipur (Bihar): A local court has ordered registration of an FIR against LJP chief Ramvilas Paswan for making 'provocative' speech and remarks against JD(U) rival Ramsunder Das, who defeated him in the Lok Sabha polls this time.

Acting chief judicial magistrate Prem Mishra took cognizance of the complaint petition fild by a JD(U) minority cell leader Nayeem Akhtar on Wednesday charging Paswan with making the provocative speech and remarks against Das at a workers conference called by LJP to find out reasons behind its debacle in the polls.

Das, a former chief minister, had defeated Paswan by about 35,000 votes in Hajipur L S seat, where the LJP chief had once won by a record margin.

The court ordered issuance of a directive to the Hajipur superintendent of police to lodge the FIR with the town police station here under IPC sections 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace), 510 (misconduct in public) and 500 (defamation) aginst Paswan.

When contacted, SP Prasasnath said he was yet to receive a copy of the court's directive. ''We will work in keeping with the law,'' he added.

In fact this person ramvilaas paaswan deserved this action last time also.He was seen portraying the terrists to fetch votes, but election commission did'nt do it for the fear of being branded as anti backward class.But how can a person is backward when he has amaased crores and crores of Rupees, Dinars, Dollars, Dirham's, Ponds and so on.......It is ploy to fool people and people have this time given him a deserved result.It is now upto courts and administration to nail him till proven guilty.Loktantra ki chhaki peesti to dheere hai lekin bareek bahut peesti hai.
