In a statement central govt stated
the Supreme Court that India shouldn't claim Kohinoor diamond from the British.
Solicitor General said that Kohinoor gifted by Maharaja Ranjit Singh to the
East India Company. He said that it is the view of the Culture Ministry. Indians have long maintained that the Kohinoor
should be returned to India by its former colonial rulers. Recently on April
8th the Apex Court asked the government to clarify its stand on a Pacific International Lines (PIL) seeking
return of Kohinoor diamond to India. Everybody is claiming the Kohinoor a bench
headed by Chief Justice TS Thakur had told the solicitor general many
countries are claiming Kohinoor such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and even
South Africa. Somebody here is also asking for the Kohinoor. Do you know about
it ?
The petition also also sought
return of the 'ring and sword' of Tipu Sultan and other treasures of Tipu
Sultan, Bahadur Shah Zafar, Rani Jhansi, Nawab Mir Ahmad Ali Banda and other
rulers of India.
