Kasargod, May 1: Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Sadhvi Saraswati, known for her controversial statements, has been booked by the Kerala police for delivering hate speech in which she allegedly asked people to 'behead love Jihadis' and killers of mother cow'.
The 21-year-old had delivered a hate speech at the inaugural of a VHP programme held at Badiadka in Kasargod on April 27.
The Hindutva leader said that lacs of rupees were being spent on purchasing mobile phones. A sum of Rs 1000 should be spared to 'buy swords for girls to kill love Jihadis', she had said.
A few local organisations as well as people in general filed a complaint with the superintendent of police (SP). The SP then directed the Badiadka police to register a case.
The Badiadka police have registered cases under IPC sections 153 (A) hate speech – and 295 (A) – outraging the religious feelings against Saraswati.
Saraswati is the President of Sanathan Dharma Prachar Seva Samiti and known to promote 'Hindu Rashtra'.
