January 11, 2013  10:49
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has issued notices to the state Medical Education Minister Anoop Mishra, Gwalior Mayor Sameeksha Gupta and others in connection with a programme eulogising dacoits recently. The Gwalior Municipal Corporation had organised the Gwalior Carnival from December 15-31 last year during which a programme was organised on the theme of 'Dacoits of Chambal'. During the programme, the speakers reportedly spoke in praise of the dacoits and information about them was also displayed on posters and banners. Bhadouria had earlier filed a PIL in the High Court demanding that the programme will have an adverse affect on the new generation as it was organised to speak in praise the dacoits, following which the court directed the GMC to ensure that it was not done.
