Panthers Party chief Prof Bhim Singh today filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking direction to the Centre to withdraw all criminal cases against eminent painter M F Hussain for his alleged obscene paintings of Hindu goddesses.
The petitioner has also urged the apex court to direct the governemnt to ensure the safety and security of the 95-year-old painter who is presently living in exile in London.
There are reports in the media that the painter has decided to take citizenship of Qatar.
Several criminal complaints, which were filed against Hussain in various parts of the country, have already been transfered to Patiala House Court in Delhi by the apex court.
Hindu organisations, mainly Sangh Parivar, have been agitating against Hussain for hurting the religious and patriotic sentiments of the Hindus and the people of India in large.
