Cong candidate booked for 'will chop Modi to pieces' speech

March 28, 2014 13:46

Congress Lok Sabha candidate Imran Masood from UP's Saharanpur, has been booked for his hate speech against Narendra Modi.

Masood had threatened to kill the BJP PM candidate. A video has surfaced showing Masood addressing a gathering and claiming to chop Modi into pieces.

Masood, however, remains defiant, saying he only meant that he would teach Modi a lesson and would apologise only if Modi apologised for the 2002 riots.

In his speech, Masood said, "UP is not Gujarat. There is only 4% Muslim population in Gujarat but in UP there are 22% Muslims here. I will fight against Modi because I know how to give a fitting reply to him. We will cut him into pieces."

The Election Commission had sought details of Masood's speech.
