This petition has been filed by the president of the ‘Welfare Party of India’ Dr Syed Qasim Rasool Ilyas. Umar Khalid who has been arrested in connection with the Delhi riots is Dr Syed’s son. The complaint refers to an event that was organised by the Hindu Yuva Vahini on 19th December 2021. In the said context, the plea alleges that Chavhankhe “seen administering an oath to kill a group to make India a “Hindu Nation”.  So also Chavhanke had said on a tweet that, ‘One dream : Hindu Rashtra’. Hence, it has been claimed in the petition that to say ‘One dream : Hindu Rashtra’, is against the Constitution.
