The Thane police in Maharashtra have taken action against a controversial priest, Yati Narsinghanand, who has been involved in multiple cases. This comes after he allegedly made objectionable remarks against Prophet Muhammad during a program at Hindi Bhavan in Ghaziabad on September 29th. The police received a complaint from the president of the Social Democratic Party of India and registered a case against him on October 3rd.
The case has been filed under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including 196, 197, 299, and 302. However, no arrests have been made yet. Narsinghanand has been facing similar complaints in different states and there have been demands for his arrest. In fact, an FIR has also been registered against him in Amravati city, where violent protests broke out outside the Nagpuri Gate police station on Friday night. 21 police personnel were injured and 10 police vans were damaged due to stone pelting by a mob.
The controversial priest's remarks have sparked protests in Ghaziabad and other states as well. On Friday night, a large crowd gathered outside the Dasna Devi temple, where Narsinghanand is a presiding priest, to protest against him. As a result, security has been increased around the temple premises. Narsinghanand has been involved in various cases, including a hate speech at a conclave in Haridwar in December 2021. He was out on bail when this incident occurred.
Meanwhile, the vice president of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Malik Motasim Khan, has strongly condemned the "blasphemous" remarks made by the seer. He has demanded immediate action against him. Khan also reminded the Muslim community that the stature and dignity of Prophet Muhammad cannot be diminished by the words of a few ignorant and despicable individuals. He called for calm and urged the community to respond to such provocations with wisdom, patience, and dignity.
In addition, Khan also urged the community to take meaningful steps to promote the teachings, ethics, and noble qualities of Prophet Muhammad in multiple languages. This, he believes, will help spread the true message of peace and compassion across the country and build a society based on mutual respect and harmony. It is only through such efforts that we can hope to create a better and more tolerant society.
