Sadhvi Prachi booked for hate speech against Mulayam Singh Yadav

A notice has also been served to BJP candidate from the constituency, Rajpal Singh, for violation of Model Code of Conduct. Mulayam had made the remarks during the recent general elections while defending the rape accused.

During the speech, Sadhvi Prachi also allegedly said that “if you continue to vote for SP then the day is not far away when all the loudspeakers from temples will be pulled down.” She even reportedly addressed Mulayam as “budhau” during her speech.

BJP’s state president Lakshmikant Bajpaye and Gorakhpur MP Yogi Adityanath were also scheduled to address the meeting but could not reach the venue.

Sadhvi Prachi, however, remained defiant and blamed cabinet minister Azam Khan behind registration of the case. “It is being done at the behest of Azam Khan. I have proof he was involved in getting those accused in Kawal incident (that triggered Muzaffarnagar riots) from police station. Now I am being intimidated by cases and even facing life threat,” Sadhvi Prachi told The Indian Express.

Dr Prachi heads Sadhvi Shakti Parishad and had contested the previous assembly poll as BJP candidate held in 2012 from Purkazi assembly seat in Muzaffarnagar district.

Sadhvi Prachi also alleged that Azam is behind Muzaffarnagar riots and that he should be subjected to a narco test.

“Akhilesh Yadav is a lalla (kid). The government is being run by a minister from Rampur. Azam is behind the riots which occurred in Uttar Pradesh last year,” she said.

Sadhvi Prachi was earlier in news after she had ann-ounced Jalabhishek programme at Kanth temple after the loudspeaker row.

“A case has been registered against Sadhvi Prachi and a notice has been given to the BJP candidate for violation of Model Code of Conduct,” Deepak Aggrawal, DM Moradabad confirmed.
