Mumbai: The Bombay
High Court Wednesday sought within a day a report from Mumbai
police on the law and order aspects of some of the public
engagements of Canada-based Pakistani Islamic preacher and Sufi
scholar Tahir-ul Qadri, an official said.
A division bench of Justice M.V. Kanade and Justice P.D. Kode gave
the order in a petition filed by Raza Academy's chief Saeed Noori.
"Qadri is known for his inflammatory speeches and his public
utterances could threaten peace in Mumbai," Noori told IANS.
The judges asked Public Prosecutor Pandurang Pol to submit a
report by Thursday on the issue and find out whether police took
into account the law and order situation during Qadri's public
engagements in the city, the official said.
Qadri is scheduled to speak at a public meeting in south Mumbai's
Marine Lines Thursday and at Sion, east Mumbai, Saturday.
Noori contended in the petition that Qadri is known for speaking
on controversial issues which could impact the law and order
situation in Mumbai.
"In the past, he had opined that people of Kashmir must decide
whether they want to be part of India or Pakistan, and on another
occasion heaped praises on Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi,"
Noori said.
He said that the Raza Academy had written to union Home Minister
P. Chidambaram and Maharashtra Home Minister R.R. Patil to carry
out a background check on Qadri before taking further measures.
