TRISHUL CASE AGAINST TOGADIA MAY BE WITHDRAWN: MINISTER
Press Trust of India
Jaipur, August 5

Asserting that there is no ban on carrying trishul (trident) in
Rajasthan, Social Welfare Minister Madan Dilawar on Thursday hinted
that the case registered by previous Congress government against VHP
leader Praveen Togadia in this connection might be withdrawn.

"No rule or law exist against trishul... It was the conspiracy of
former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot against the nationalist powers to
defame them," he told reporters in Jaipur.

"It was a verbal ban on trishul and that is nowhere now in the BJP
government," Dilawar said.

When reminded that Togadia, VHP International General Secretary, was
facing a case under the Arms Act at an Ajmer court, the Minister
said, "Togadiaji free hain...Ve hamari prerna ke shrot hain...Case
bhi hat jayega" (Togadia is free... He is our inspiration... Case
against him would be withdrawn).

"Trishul is everywhere, who is obstructing it," he said adding, "can
there be a ban on a fork which we use every day with meal...How come
a ban on trishul, a symbol of god, be workable."
