After Court Rap, Delhi Police's U-Turn On TV Channel Boss Hate Speech

The police had earlier said that there was no use of such words which could be interpreted as an open call for genocide of Muslims.

The Delhi police, after getting reprimanded by the Supreme Court, has now registered a hate speech case relating to the Delhi "Dharam Sansad". The police have filed a fresh affidavit and informed the top court about it today.

A speech at a Hindu Yuva Vahini event in Delhi that called for a "Hindu Rashtra (Hindu nation)" at all costs was "not hate speech", the Delhi Police had earlier told the Supreme Court.

At the event, Sudarshan News TV Chief Editor Suresh Chavhanke had urged people to take an oath and had said: "Hindu rashtra ke liye ladenge, marenge aur zarurat padi toh maaarenge (We all pledge to make this country a Hindu nation. We will fight for it, die for it and, if needed. also kill for it)."

The event was organised on December 19 last year by the right-wing group Hindu Yuva Vahini.
