Samajwadi Party leader Swami Prasad Maurya

Raebareli (UP) – A case was registered against the Samajwadi Party leader and former minister Swami Prasad Maurya for making offensive statements in a meeting. Maurya had raised a slogan, ‘Mulayam and Kanshiram came together, Jai Shriram flew into the air’. Such a slogan was in practice three decades ago in UP.

Editorial viewpoint

In Pakistan, insulting Allah is punishable by death. It is essential that the Government pass such a law in India for insulting the Hindu Deities.
