It is not the first case against Kalicharan Maharaj as he was booked in another case of hate speech during the ‘Shivpratap Din’ event held in Pune on December 19. Another hate speech case was registered against him in Maharastra’s Akola district.
MP Home Minister Narottam Mishra reportedly protested over Kalicharan’s arrested and alleged that Chhattisgarh Police violated norms by taking the action without giving information to the MP police.
In response to his protest, Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel asked Mishra to clarify his position whether he felt happiness or sorrow for the arrest of a person who derogated Mahatma Gandhi. He said in a statement that laws were not violated in his arrest.
