NEW DELHI: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has sent a legal notice to a US-based website "Hinduunity.Org" for alleged "perverted, scurrilous and gutter writing" against him and his family members.

Disclosing this on Friday night, party spokesman Abhishek Singhvi said that the notice has been sent against an individual, Rohit Vyasman and an entity called "Ezboard Inc" for allegedly launching campaign against the Gandhi family.

The website was traced after weeks of efforts, he said and added that the legal notice was served to them threatening prosecution against them including the "co-conspirators".

The legal notice has sought strictest action as per the law possible against them so that such writings were stopped as also misuse of religion.

"It is high time that civil society took note of this dirty campaign," Singhvi said adding the e-mail, courier and post box number of those names are being searched to find out more details in this regard".

Singhvi parried a question whether an FIR against all the persons would be filed. He merely said that all the options were open in this matter.

He also parried a question whether the website would be blocked in view of its scurrilous campaign.
