VHP moves West Bengal HC over ban on Praveen Togadia's public meet by state govt

North Dinajpur, April 03 (ANI): The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) filed a writ petition in the West Bengal against the prohibitory order issued by the state government restricting VHP international working president Praveen Togadia's entry into the state. Togadia was to address a public meet in North Dinajpur district on April 05 but was banned entry by the state government fearing "communal tension and disruption in public tranquility". VHP district Vice-President Tejendra Narayan Bose had moved the court seeking a stay on the promulgation of Section 144 CrPC for the meeting. Earlier in January, a FIR was filed against Togadia for hurting religious sentiments following the alleged conversion of over 100 tribals in Birbhum district.
