India has strongly taken up the demand for banning Hindu scripture Bhagavad Gita, which a group linked to the Christian Orthodox Church has described as ‘extremist’, with the Russian authorities, Indian Ambassador to Russia Ajai Malhotra said.
“The matter has been taken up by the Indian Embassy in Moscow with the Russian Government at senior official level, seeking its favourable and positive intervention in the matter,” Ambassador Malhotra said, as the court in Tomsk postponed its ruling on the petition banning Bhagwad Gita as ‘extremist’ and allegedly ‘sowing’ social-discord in Russia.
