Refusing to grant exemption from personal hearing to Maharashtra Navanirman Sena chief\u00a0Raj Thackeray\u00a0and spokesperson Shirish Parkar, a Delhi court Friday issued non-bailable warrants against them on a complaint of making \u201chate speeches\u201d against the people of Bihar.<\/p>\n
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Devendra Kumar Sharma issued NBWs against Thackeray and Parkar for Aug 24.<\/p>\n
Last month, the court also directed them to appear in person and rejected Thackeray\u2019s plea for exemption.<\/p>\n
The court\u2019s direction came on a complaint filed by advocate Premchandra Jaiswal, who is a member of Bihar State Bar Council, Patna, against the MNS chief\u2019s alleged hate speeches against the people of Bihar and demeaning their religious festival of Chhath.<\/p>\n
Jaiswal had also accused MNS workers of intimidating them.<\/p>\n
Initially, the case was filed before a court in Patna in 2008 and summoning orders and non-bailable warrants were also issued against Thackeray and Parkar.<\/p>\n
Later, the Supreme Court transferred the case to Delhi in 2010 along with similar other complaints filed against Thackeray for allegedly making hate speeches.<\/p>\n
