He had alleged that on April 3, at around 1 pm, when he along with two other journalists were interviewing one person, then some persons manhandled and assaulted him. A case was registered," the police further added in its statement.Yati Narsinghanand, head priest of Ghaziabad's Dasna Devi Temple, on Sunday exhorted Hindus to take up arms and alleged that if a Muslim becomes the Prime Minister, 50 per cent of Hindus will convert and 40 per cent will be killed."Narsinghanand, the priest who is also accused in the Haridwar hate speech case, was speaking at an event organised by Preet Singh, founder of the Save India Foundation.Singh was one of the organisers of an event at Jantar Mantar last year where anti-Muslim slogans were raised. He was arrested by the Delhi Police in connection with that case and is currently out on bail. Narsinghanand, too, is out on bail in connection with the Haridwar case."Only in 2029 or in 2034 or in 2039 a Muslim will become the prime minister. Once a Muslim will become the PM, 50 per cent Hindus will convert, 40 per cent will be killed and the remaining 10 per cent will either live in refugee camps or in other countries in the next 20 years," Yati said according to a video of the event circulated on social media.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
