GHAZIABAD: The Ghaziabad district administration has issued a notice to Dasna Devi temple priest Yati Narsinghanand, warning him of legal action if he makes a statement which spreads communal hatred.

The move came after the priest declared on Monday that he will go to Delhi’s Jama Masjid on June 17 and give a presentation on the Quran.

If he does not stop issuing statements spreading hate, legal action will be initiated against him, the notice issued by sub-divisional magistrate Vinay Singh said.

Police are being extra vigilant to avoid any untoward incident, SP (rural) Iraj Raja said.

“I will go alone so that politicians who are scared of Islamic jihad may not book my followers in false cases,” he had said.

“My presentation about Islam and their Quran will be an eyeopener to all Muslims,” he added.

“The Muslims who will be present inside the mosque after knowing the facts which are written in the Quran may kill me but I will take risk of my life to save the Hindus,” the priest said through a video and a press note released on Monday.

The priest also supported Nupur Sharma, the Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson suspended over her remarks against Prophet Mohammed last month on television. Taking note of Narsinghanand’s video and press note, the SDM (Sadar) issued a notice to him, advising him to refrain from anything that may spread hatred among both communities.
