National president of Sangh, Dr Sanjay Chaubey demanded from the government to lodge a case of treason against Badruddin Kadri. He said that the fatwa on ‘Vande Mataram’ was against the spirit of Indian Constitution.

He said that some religious leaders were trying to disturb the peace of the country and that was why they were trying to instigate people of a particular community for their vested interests. The Sangh members demanded from the government to ensure immediate arrest of Badruddin Kadri.

Ramashray Patel, Prakash Patel, Anil Singh, Gopal Patel, Sushil Kumar, Rajkumar Rai, Dinesh Chaurasia, Ajay Gupta, Ravi Shanker Patel, Manoj Kumar, Uma Shanker and Anar Nath Yadav were among others who addressed the dharna.

Sangh members also threatened to launch a massive agitation in case Kadri was not arrested soon. Besides, the Sangh members have also decided to file a public interest litigation in the High Court in support of their demands.
