#PIL filed against Ved Pratap Vaidik over his meeting with Hafiz Saeed
New Delhi, July 18 (IBNS): A public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Delhi High Court against journalist and Ramdev aide Ved Pratap Vaidik over his meeting with India's most wanted terrorist Hafiz Saeed in Pakistan during a trip of journalists to that country.
The PIL seeks a detailed probe by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
 
It also wants Vaidik's passport be seized and sedition charges be slapped on him.
 
The petition stated that the meeting could not have been possible without collusion of Pakistan's ISI. 
 
Earlier, Vaidik was booked on sedition charges in Uttar Pradesh.
 
The Varanasi court will hear the case on July 25. 
 
The case was filed against Vaidik by a lawyer named Kamlesh Tripathi from Varanasi first for the meeting with Saeed and second for his controversial remark over Azad Kashmir in an interview to Pakistan's news Channel Dawn News.
 
According to his Wikipedia profile, Ved Pratap Vaidik  is a scholar, political analyst and free lancer columnist of India. It says he had been with Press Trust of India as the founder-editor of its Hindi news agency “Bhasha”. Before that he was the Editor (views) in Nav Bharat Times. At present, he is the Chairman of Bhartiya Bhasha Sammelan.
 
Baba Ramdev  defended Vaidik and said he met Saeed as a senior journalist and tried to change his heart.
