00:00 In a late-night operation, Islamic preacher Maulana Mufti Salman Azhari was arrested from
00:06 Mumbai and transported to Gujarat.
00:08 He faces charges in connection with an allegedly inflammatory speech delivered in Gujarat last
00:13 week.
00:14 The Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad or ATS took Maulana Azhari into custody early this morning
00:20 and subsequently proceeded towards Junagadh on a transit remand for two days.
00:25 The arrest prompted a strong reaction from hundreds of his supporters who gathered outside
00:29 the Ghatkopar police station in Mumbai.
00:32 The situation escalated as the crowd blocked traffic leading to lathi charge by the police
00:37 to clear the way for the convoy heading towards Junagadh.
00:41 "There is peace in Mumbai.
00:46 There is peace on the roads of Mumbai.
00:48 There is peace in the Ghatkopar area.
00:50 You should not believe any rumour.
00:54 Cooperate with the Mumbai police.
00:57 I want to tell the public of Mumbai that the Mumbai police is on the roads for the public
01:04 of Mumbai.
01:05 There is peace.
01:06 You should not believe any rumour.
01:10 Jai Hind."
01:13 Amid the controversy, AIMIM leader Waris Pathan defended Maulana Azhari, stating that the
01:19 speech in question was about the Israel-Palestine dispute and was not intended to provoke anyone.
01:24 "He has not given an inflammatory speech.
01:26 People have given even worse speeches.
01:29 They will beat us for 15 minutes, 10 minutes, 5 minutes.
01:33 They will beat us for the sake of equality.
01:36 We will finish them all.
01:38 There is no FIR or case against them.
01:41 But the person here himself is saying that he has given clarification that he has not
01:45 spread the dust of anyone's faith.
01:47 I have only read a poem.
01:49 And the opportunity he had there, he was speaking about Palestine.
01:52 How did he understand that he had to use one word?
01:55 KTS is coming here, taking them from Gujarat.
01:58 What do we want?
01:59 Justice should be in front of everyone.
02:01 Law should be equal to everyone.
02:03 The video that was released on the stage, there was a speech by the leader of the
02:08 party, in front of the supporters, which is being objected the most.
02:13 And the section that has been put up, the matter that has been made, the matter of
02:17 provoking religious sentiments.
02:18 What do you say to this?
02:19 Which religious slogan was put up, which provoked it?
02:22 La ilaha illallah Muhammad Rasool Allah.
02:24 Labaik labaik ya Rasool Allah.
02:26 Nare taklil Allah o Akbar.
02:28 Nare taklil Allah o Akbar.
