India’s top court says it will investigate alleged hate speeches made against Muslims at a Hindu religious leaders' congregation last month
India’s top court has said it will take up a petition seeking prosecution of several Hindu religious leaders for allegedly making highly provocative speeches against Muslims at a closed-door meeting last month.
The petition filed by retired Judge Anjana Prakash stated that the speeches made at the Hindu religious leaders' congregation “pose a grave threat not just to the unity and integrity of our country but also endanger the lives of millions of Muslim citizens,” said Bar & Bench, an online portal for Indian legal news.
Last month, Indian police arrested a Hindu religious leader for allegedly making a derogatory speech against India’s independence leader Mohandas Gandhi and praising his assassin.
