The Plea also sought the direction, that the Prime minister should be restrained from seeking votes in the name of religion.
Citing an instance of PM’s Banswara speech, which the petitioner alleged, was highly inflammatory and against communal harmony. It also referred to other Prime minister Modi speeches, in his other political campaigns to back its case.
