February 07, 2013 16:39

An FIR is likely to be filed against VHP leader Praveen Togadia for his alleged "hate speech" in Nanded, Maharashtra, this evening.

Maharashtra Minorities Affairs Minister Naseem Khan today demanded that the state government file a case against Togadia.

"I have spoken to the state Home Minister R R Patil today. He has ordered an inquiry (into Togadia's remarks)," Khan told PTI. "I have requested the state govt to register case against Togadia," he said.

"If (Akbaruddin) Owaisi is behind bars for his hate speech, why not Togadia?" the minister said. The VHP leader had triggered a controversy by making a controversial speech on February 1 near Adilabad in Andhra Pradesh.
