Bokaro: A local court on Wednesday issued a warrant against BJP leader and former Bihar minister Giriraj Singh for making an inflammatory speech at a poll rally.
Sub-divisional judicial magistrate Amit Sekhar issued the warrants against Singh for his alleged remarks that people who do not vote for Narendra Modi will have to find a place in Pakistan.
Singh is facing charges under IPC sections 153 A (promoting enmity between classes), 295 A (maliciously insulting religion or religious beliefs of any class) and 298 (uttering any word or making any sound in the hearing or making any gesture, or placing any object in the sight of any person, with intention to wound his religious feelings).
Earlier, the Election Commission had banned Giriraj from campaigning in Bihar and Jharkhand.
