Indore, May 01: After a local court dismissed their
petition against Bollywood actor and BJP candidate from
Rajasthan's Bikaner constituency Dharmendra, some Congress
activists here have sent a petition to President A P J Abdul
Kalam demanding disqualification of actress Hema Malini from
Rajya Sabha membership for allegedly providing "incorrect"
information about her marital status.
In a complaint to the President sent yesterday in the form
of a petition, copies of which were made available to the
press here today, the complainants, Madhya Pradesh Congress
committee's minority cell's vice chairman Akthar Beg and
Inodre city Congress unit vice president K K Mishra alleged
that Hema Malini in her papers as Rajya Sabha member had
allegedly mentioned the name of 'Deol Dharmendra' as her
husband, while they have not yet made "public" any information
about their marital status.
The complainants alleged that Hema Malini by providing "false and baseless" information about her marital status in the papers to the upper house has committed a "fraud". The Congress leaders' advocate Shailendra Dwivedi has urged the President to terminate the membership for violating provisions of the representation of the people act and also for providing "false and baseless" information and committing "fraud" on the Indian Constitution, democracy and the Upper House.
