Ghaziabad: The notorious Hindu-right wing member Yati Narsinghanand from Uttar Pradesh has once again delivered a hate speech targeting Muslims at Hindi Bhawan in Ghaziabad’s Lohia Nagar on September 29.

This inflammatory statement comes amid a backdrop of ongoing legal troubles for Narasinghanand, with multiple First Information Reports (FIRs) filed against him for hate speech aimed at Muslims.
Despite Multiple cases against him for hate speeches, majorly against Muslims, the hate monger continues to deliver incendiary speeches without facing any apparent repercussions from law enforcement.
