In the letter, Maulana Madani called Yati Narsinghanand a known hate-monger who frequently incites hatred against Islam and Muslims. He emphasized that the latest comments cross all boundaries and are a deliberate attempt to provoke communal disharmony, which poses a severe threat to the nation’s peace and stability.

He demanded immediate legal action against Yati Narsinghanand for his inflammatory and disrespectful remarks and removal of the offensive video from all social media platforms, holding these platforms accountable for allowing the spread of such dangerous content.

He also demanded implementation of stricter measures to prevent hate speech against religious figures and to monitor such activities. Maulana Madani warned that failing to take prompt action would embolden such divisive forces. He urged the government to act swiftly and sternly to safeguard the nation’s values of peace, unity, and respect for all religions.

A copy of the letter has also been sent to the Police Commissioner of Ghaziabad, Ajay Kumar Mishra, and Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind General Secretary Maulana Hakeemuddin Qasmi has already initiated communication with local police officials for further action.
