The entire video recording of speech and the translated version was sent to the legal experts, who after examining it have clarified that there were no defamatory or provocative statements in the speech and the MIM leader had not hurt any person or sections of society in his speech, the Commissioner of Police stated.
As there was no evidence of provocative statements and hurting the sentiments of any section, the police had decided not to register any criminal case, he said and appealed to the people to maintain calm and support the police in the maintenance of law and order.
