Yadgir: Sri Rama Sena leader held guilty by court in hate speech case


Yadgir, Mar 17 (IANS): Karnataka local court on Friday held Sri Rama Sena state President Siddalinga Swamy, pontiff of Karuneshwara Mutt in Andola, guilty of hate speech.

The Karnataka Police had lodged an FIR against the swamiji in connection with delivering a hate speech against Muslims in 2015. The judge, Ravindra Honole of the Civil Court of Yadgir, ruled that Siddalinga Swami is guilty.

The court has directed the officers to submit the background and history of Siddalinga Swami. The quantum of punishment would be decided based on the report.

    I feel as Modi came to power in 2014, these RSLhave got some voice and started their hate speech against other religions.Why ?Can we not speak in a normal ton?Why should we hate others.?They too have same rights as others.When we leave this world ,everyone is going with their good or bad deeds to God.Their religion is not asked .Atleast let them learn a lessen now.
