Muslim prosecuted for hate speech in India

We read:

"The Election Commission on Friday issued notice to Congress leader Imran Kidwai for reportedly giving an inflammatory speech during an election meeting in Chandigarh on March 15. He has been asked to reply to the notice by Sunday.

Citing Kidwai's speech, EC said it was inflammatory and amounted to promoting enmity between different groups on religious grounds. EC also said that none of the Congress leaders present in the meeting, that included Mohsina Kidwai and Pawan Bansal, have neither contradicted the statements made by him nor has the party issued any statement to dissociate itself from the remarks reportedly made by Imran Kidwai.

In his speech made in the meeting, Imran Kidwai was reported to have said, "I regret that that I am not a mufti because a mufti issues fatwas. If I were a mufti, I would have issued a fatwa and that would have been that a Muslim siding with BJP is akin to his committing blasphemy and I can prove this"
