Nirupam seeks probe in Togadia's charge of plot to kill him

January 16, 2018 16:13

Mumbai Congress president Sanjay Nirupam today demanded a probe into VHP leader Pravin Togadia's allegation that there was a plot to kill him.

Nirupam said though his party has ideological differences with Togadia, it sympathises with him on humanitarian grounds.

Togadia, who briefly went missing yesterday, today charged that "some people" were trying to stifle his voice and that he was not allowed to speak on issues like Ram Temple, farmers and cow slaughter.

A tearful Togadia, 62, said that he went into hiding as he feared police will kill him in an encounter.

Reacting to his charge, Nirupam told reporters that, "We have ideological differences with Togadia. But on humanitarian grounds, we sympathise with him when he says there is a plot to kill him."
