Pravin Togadia denies alleged hate speech
New Delhi, Apr 21 (IBNS): Vishwa Hindu Parishad's (VHP) president Pravin Togadia, who has been under fire for his alleged hate speech in Bhavnagar in Gujarat on Saturday, has denied making anti-Muslim remarks, reports said.
This comes after, Togadia had reportedly urged the residents of Bhavnagar in Gujarat to evict Muslims from "Hindu areas".
However, Tagadia has not only denied the allegations but has also alleged a political conspiracy against him made by a media house.
"This is a political conspiracy against me. I have sent a legal notice to the concerned media house," he told CNN-IBN.
According to the media report, Togadia joined a group of protesters outside the house of a Muslim businessman in Rajkot, urging people to use pressure tactics to evict the Muslim tenants.
He even reportedly gave 48 hours to the Muslim businessman to vacate the building.
