In a speech this week- when some Hindu activists were protesting the killing of tailor Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur, Rajasthan Keshav Murthy said, “The Quran says kill people. So, don’t you think those who read the Quran will follow the same? Those who read the Quran are terrorists.”

The complaint was lodged by Zameer Ahamad, president of the organization Anjuman-e-Islamia. The case against Keshav Murthy has been registered under Indian Penal Code.
