Maneka breaks silence over Varun's hate speech

Former Union Minister Maneka Gandhi on Thursday broke silence over her son's alleged hate speech, saying the Congress was taking up the case to 'conceal' its 'anti-Sikh acts'.
"It has become empirical for Congress to show such tapes (of hate speeches) to conceal their anti-Sikh acts," Gandhi said.
She accused the Congress of giving tickets to people involved in the anti-Sikh riots, in which thousands of Sikhs were killed," Gandhi said.
She further said that the Election Commission has also dismissed the tape as a fake one.
"The Election Commission has also dismissed the tape as a fake one and it actually is a fake one because Varun has not spoken anything like that," she added.
On March 17, the Election Commission filed a criminal case under a non-bailable law against Varun Gandhi for his alleged hate speech against Muslims in Pilibhit.
