Mumbai: Firebrand Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Praveen Togadia’s arrest now looks imminent a day after the Maharashtra Police registered two cases against him for making a hate speech in the Nanded district of the state last week.

Reports, Friday, claimed that the Congress-NCP government in Maharashtra is under extreme pressure to act the Hindi outfit leader and may order his arrest today.

The cases were filed against Togadia after the Maharashtra government ordered an inquiry into the provocative speeches made by him in Nanded last month against members of a particular community.

The state government, after being asked by the Centre to investigate into allegations of Togadia’s provocative speeches, assured it of due legal process.

Minister of State for Home RPN Singh said on Thursday, "If Togadia's speech is inflammatory; the state government must take action against him." Law and order, he pointed out, was a state subject.

A little before the police booked Togadia for disturbing harmony and public mischief, Maharashtra Home Minister RR Patil said, “Maharashtra has one standard for all. Whatever Togadia has said will be examined and after that whatever legal and police process has to be done, will be done."

Patil's own colleague, Maharashtra Minister for Minorities Naseem Khan also said that he had heard the speech and that "there is enough evidence to book Praveen Togadia. He is clearly trying to divide communities in an attempt to polarise them before the elections." He also urged the Congress-NCP government to register a case against the VHP leader.

At a public meeting at Bhokar town in Nanded district of Maharashtra on January 22— details of which are now surfacing after a video-recording was posted online— Togadia had allegedly attacked Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi and members of a particular community.

Owaisi was sent to jail on charges of delivering a hate speech at Nirmal town in Adilabad district of Andhra Pradesh last month.

The VHP leader had also triggered a controversy by making a controversial speech on February 1 near Adilabad in Andhra Pradesh.

The Realist - The World
Who are Naxilites ? Who are Maoists ? Are they ``Desh Bhakht `` ? Why can`t they be called as Terrorists ? Why Hindu Media reserves this tag of ``Terrorists`` only for minorities ? When people vote for MODI then and there it becomes clear that they support his actions and thinking. Why is then Hindus criticizing muslims ? If RSS and VHP are capable of genocides then its not because of BJP but because of Congress who is a real VHP and RSS supporter. Those who think that these Hindus will vote out these BJP kind of party and their ideology are real fools ? We are heading towards mayhem and this foundation has been laid by Todagadia kind of stuff.

Son of bitch Togadia says, indian army as hindu army, public view “A hindu cannot be strong as a Muslim…” When Owaisi is being tried in court, why should Togadia retaliate? As a majority, Hindus have to show some restraint. That bitch Uma Bharti defends gandu Togadia, all hindu are in one side, see hindu will never change theyalways have ? 2.00 character. Maharashtra poilce registered FIR against Togadia but he will not arrested yet because he is hindu leader, Togadia’s act was seen as the VHP’s reply to Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) leader Akbaruddin Owaisi’s hate speeches for which he was booked & arrested last month… One law for Owaisi & other for Togadia. How shameful Indian Law… I am ashamed to be an Indian. I will ask to public that, “what different in Law of Hyderabad & Mumbai??” “Are INDIAN LAWS also different for hindu & Muslim..???” This justifies whatever Akbaruddin Owaisi said in his speech. Owaisi said that justice system is prejudiced.& it is being proved that Owaisi was right….

The communal parties like MIM and Congress should be banned and thier leaders be arrested. India is a secular country. Congress is run by muslims, for the muslims. When India was divided by Muslims were given separate country. But instead of leaving the country, they are destroying this country. India belongs to Hindus, It was ruled by great Hindus , for several thousand years. It is where lord ram and bhrrat were born. Hinduism is not created by ordinary humans, who razed war against country, and expelled. It is a

Muslims have fought for freedom of India. RSS was a British agent and never hoists National flag at its head quarters. Rss killed Godse, RSS was banned by three PM`s Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Narsimha Rao. RSS is branded as terror outfit by three Home Ministers Patel, Chidambaram and Shinde. RSS runs terror camps and it gets funds from NRI`s. RSS is involved in each and every terror activity and killingof innocents from Nellie to Gujarat.

Hi, Togadia made a response to Owaisi’s hate speech. Majority hindus must always take flak without retaliation, right? Who is the DESH BHAKT and who is the DESH DROHI? RSS who fought for India’s freedom and Laskar E Toiba who wants to destroy India , is seen through the same prism? Is this NOT important? After BJP wins electionsin 2014, a serious attempt must be made to cancel the passports and check the assets of the lobbied up DESH DROHI foreign funded media and TV , who supported Kudankulam nuclear protests, FDI in multibrand, naxal human rights, opened up healed wounds in Indian society, made mountains out of molehills disturbing the society fabric, gave space to secessionists , promoted GM seeds etc Capt ajit vadakayil ..

When Akbarudin was abusing hindus and gave hate speech, No Digvijay-setaramyechury nor AP congress govt commented but when when a togadia assures the harrased hindus of Hyderabad against Jehadi`s then why arrest. Why did congress govt failed for so many years action against MIM?

Karmik - Canada
The Maharashtrians are the new Anti Hindu hub now. Whith SS Shinde still not apologising or arrested for his Hindu terror comments, Togadia needs to be arrested as Digvijay feels he should be arrested to continue pleasing the Muslim vote bank. The Hindu voters are watching this secoolar tamasha............Karmik
