LUCKNOW: An FIR has been lodged against Anil Dhirbubhai Ambani Group Chairman Anil Ambani and senior officials of Reliance Communication for allegedly circulating derogatory jokes against the Sikh community through its mobile Internet services.
The FIR was lodged by Lucknow Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (LGPC) after an emergent meeting held here on Monday, official sources said here on Tuesday.
"These jokes are insulting as some Sikhs have been abused. They offend the feelings of the entire Sikh community. We cannot tolerate this insult being heaped on us," LGPC President Rajendra Singh Bagga said.
He said the LGPC wanted a written apology from the Reliance Group Chairman, failing which they would stage a nation-wide protest against the group all over the country.
Bagga warned that they would not hesitate to boycott all products of the company if it did not tender an apology.
When contacted, Vice President, Corporate Communication (North) Reliance Infocomm, Avinash Jain said that an FIR has been registered.
He, however, said the company had served a legal notice to the Internet service provider, who is responsible for circulating jokes.
