Togadia in dock over hate speech

While the Hyderabad police received a complaint against VHP’s international working president Praveen Togadia in connection with an alleged “hate speech” he made in Indore last month, a chief judicial magistrate’s court in Damoh, Madhya Pradesh, took notice of a private complaint filed by a local Youth Congress leader against Togadia for “creating hatred between two communities on January 24”.
According to Hyderabad inspector Syed Jahangir, businessman Mohammed Arashad of Baba Nagar lodged a complaint against Togadia on Monday, alleging he had made a “hate speech” against Muslims in Indore.
“The complainant alleged that Togadia, in his speech in Indore a few weeks ago, used foul language while referring to the Muslims and made derogatory comments. He asked us to take appropriate action,” the inspector said.
