New Delhi: Social activist Shabnam Hashmi has filed a complaint in Delhi’s Parliamnet Street Police Station against Akbaruddin Owaisi for his ‘highly inflammatory speech.’
She also brought to the notice of the police that the speech is available on youtube and is being circulated on the Facebook extensively.
Akbaruddin Owaisi, the MIM leader who is a MLA in the Andhra assembly had made an inflammatory speech few days ago. Several rights activists, including Dr. Asghar Ali Engineer and Ram Puniyani condemned his speech.
In her complaint, Hashmi writes, “The whole speech is highly objectionable, inflammatory against the Hindu religion and against our cultural heritage. It is a strong attack on the values of our constitution, democracy and secular values. Such obnoxious speeches divide society, vitiate peace and lead to conflicts and riots.”
She hence requested for registration of case under section 153 A of the IPC that pertains to cases related to, “promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc., and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony.”
Hashmi added, “This speech falls under this section as it has clearly causing enmity between different groups on grounds of religion and is causing a threat to communal harmony.”
