The petition demanded stern legal action against those who allegedly threatened to massacre Muslims.
A fresh petition was filed by the Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind in the Supreme Court on Monday to ban anti-Muslim speeches and programmes like the 'Dharma Sansad' in Haridwar in Uttarakhand and in the national capital.
The petition demanded stern legal action against those who allegedly threatened to massacre Muslims and said it was not just a matter of religion but of the Constitution, law, unity, and integrity of the country.
"Hate speeches and statements against Muslims have suddenly intensified in the country in recent times," it said.
"Even the recent programmes held, under government's nose, in Haridwar and Delhi have not only caused open provocations, but have also deliberately conspired to provoke the majority to massacre Muslims for the establishment of 'Hindu Rshtra', but unfortunately, no legal action has been taken in these two cases so far," the petition said.
