New Delhi: A court in Karimganj district of Assam has issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against senior BJP leader Subramanian Swamy for failing to honour a summons issued on March 19.

Additional CJM (Karimganj) in his order stated that Swamy should be arrested on or before June 30.

He also directed the Delhi and Assam Police to produce Swamy before the court by the date after his arrest.

A complaint has been registered against Swamy for making a controversial remark on mosques.

While speaking in Guwahati on March 13, Swamy had reportedly said, “A mosque is not a religious place. It is just a building and it can be demolished any time. If anyone disagrees with me on this, I am ready to have a debate on the issue. I got this information from people of Saudi Arabia”.
