HYDERABAD: Following closely on the heels of a complaint petition filed against MIM MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi in a local court against his alleged inflammatory speech in Nirmal, Adilabad district.
A city advocate has approached the court on Monday with a petition against Parveen Togadia, VHP international president.
The petitioner pleaded before the Seventh Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate at Nampally to take cognizance of the communally inciting utterances of Togadia wherein he is reported to have said that if the Hindus were stopped from performing puja at Bhagyalakshmi temple abutting Charminar, Hyderabad would be turned into Ayodhya.
As the Hindus from all over the country gathered in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, they would descend on Hyderabad similarly, he is reported to have threatened in front of media persons.
Togadia was speaking to mediapersons at Charminar during his visit to the city on December 12. The complainant Ghulam Rabbani, an advocate, urged the court to direct the police to register a case against Togadia.
The advocate claimed that he read the account of Togadia's remarks in a section of the media. The court posted the matter to January 2.
