‘They made provocative statements’
The local unit of Jamiat-Ulama-i-Hind on Tuesday gave a formal complaint to the police seeking action against three right-wing leaders for allegedly making provocative statements over offering of namaz in the open, promoting enmity against Islam and hurting the sentiments of the Muslim community.
The one-page complaint by Mufti Mohammad Saleem Qasmi, president of Jamiat-Ulama-i-Hind, Gurugram, said, “Right-wing leaders Dinesh Bharti, Kulbhushan Bhardwaj and Sanyukt Hindu Sangharsh Samiti president Mahaveer Bhardwaj have been repeatedly making provocative statements in public with the intention to promote enmity against Islam, which has deeply hurt the religious sentiments of the Muslim community. Needless to say, they are repeatedly doing these acts that are prejudicial to the maintenance of communal harmony.”
The complaint also referred to the alleged comments made by the three leaders in videos available online and sought immediate legal action.
