Gandhinagar

Hinting legal action against Hardik, the Gujarat Police today said that the young leader’s provocative and insensible statement regarding killing cops violated limits of law.

“Hardik’s statement (of killing policemen) is provocative and insensible. Undoubtedly his statement is violating all the limits of existing laws, as and when we will get the transcript of his statement, law will take its own course,” Gujarat Director General of Police (DGP) P C Thakur said.

Criticising the remarks of the 22-year-old leader as “misuse of free speech”, the Gujarat top cop alleged that Hardik has been making an attempt to create anarchy in the state.

“There are some restrictions in freedom of speech and when the freedom of speech is misused then the due process of law will take its own course,” Thakur said.

“He (Hardik) had uttered very unfortunate words (about killing policemen), in a way he talked of creating anarchy and attempting to break the integrity of the nation,” he added.
