The Delhi Police has said that the speakers at the ‘Dharma Sansad’ or religious gathering in Delhi on December 19 did not speak any hate speech against the Muslim community.

Therefore, after examination and evaluation of the purported video clip, it was concluded that there was no hate speech against any particular community in the speech.”

The case is based on videotape evidence. There is hardly any tampering on the part of the investigating agencies.”

It further said, “We must practice tolerance towards the views of others. Intolerance is as dangerous to democracy as to the individual itself. The petitioner disregards the main theme and its message to draw a false and absurd conclusion by varying degrees The Supreme Court has repeatedly said that freedom of expression should be given as long as community interests are not threatened. In this case, public interest is not in danger.”
