The Delhi High Court today asked a public interest litigant to specify in his petition inflammatory speeches allegedly delivered by the International General Secretary of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), Togadia, at a dharam sansad here last month.
A Division Bench of the Court comprising Justice Dalveer Bhandari and Justice S.K. Aggarwal issued the direction when the petitioner, Kamran Siddiqui, asked the Court to issue a direction to the Delhi police for registration of an FIR against Mr. Togadia for allegedly targeting Muslims in his speeches in Ramlila Grounds on February 22-23.
The petitioner had earlier approached the High Court for direction to the Union Government to withdraw Z-plus security extended to Mr. Togadia but the Curt had dismissed the petition.
The Bench fixed the matter for March
25 directing the petitioner to file the petition with excerpts of speeches
where Mr. Togadia had made provocative speeches against a particular community
as alleged by him. Arguing his case, the petitioner submitted that he had
approached the High Court after the local police refused to lodge a case
against Mr. Togadia. The petitioner also accused the Union Government of
overlooking alleged violations of the guidelines of the Foreign Exchange
Regulation Act (FERA) by the VHP.
