:dateline:Even as Asaram Bapu is under scanner over charges of sexual assault of a minor, his spokesperson has sparked a fresh controversy by allegedly comparing the self-styled godman with Sikh Guru Nanak Dev while speaking on a news channel.
A case for hurting the religious sentiments of the community was registered against Neelam Dubey, media advisor of the Asaram Trust, after a complaint against her was filed by Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Committee at Parliament Street police station in New Delhi.
The complaint alleges that the spokesperson made “objectionable” remarks against Guru Nanak, Gautam Budha and other religious leaders while reacting to the alleged charges of sexual assault on a minor girl against Asaram Bapu during a debate on a Hindi news channel recently.
A petition has also been filed in an Indore court seeking action against her for hurting the sentiments of Sikh community by her remarks.
The petition was filed by an advocate, Inderjeet Singh Bhatia, in the court of Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) Jitendra Singh Kushwaha.
The court has fixed September 28 as the date for recording the statement of the complainant in this regard.
In Chandigarh, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal condemned her remarks as “highly objectionable”.
Badal said her remarks had hurt the religious sentiments of the entire Sikh community and of millions of others who held the Gurus in the highest spiritual esteem.

Facts about Church activity in Punjab. Annual budget of Church in India is more than budget of Indian NAVY! http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/independent-churches-mushroom-across-india-attracting-foreign-funds/1/136664.html
Pujya Sant Asharamji Bapu are being drafted in false news by #PaidMedia. If anyone is hurt, it is the Christian Missionaries who have seen Bapuji’s 17000 Bal Sanskar Kendras and 15 Gurukuls as threat to their conversion activity and convent schools. If Gurukuls return to India (initianlly banned in 1835 under Britisher’s Indian Education Act), these so called Churches which are converting Sikhs and Hindus in Punjab, will find no place to go. Paidmedia is owned by Foreign Onwers which are Christians. I hope Sikh community does NOT gets mislead by such false news. Investigate yourself before believing the edited videos of paid media channels.
Thanks a million for this post. Only Param Pujya Sant Shri Asaram Bapuji’s sincere listeners/ followers are aware of what he is. There are countless devotees who will be willing to sacrifice their lives for Bapuji – if required.
It is high time the media stops negative portrayal of a great saint who has done immeasurable good to society.. and high time it realizes the feeling of hurt among hundreds of thousands of genuine devotees.
We are eagerly awaiting Pujya Bapuji to come out of jail!
