In a possible unprecedented action of NSA being slapped for a hate speech, Gandhi, who is in the eye of a storm for his alleged anti-Muslim utterances, the Mayawati government said there were three grounds which were taken into consideration by the state government for the decision.
The UP police said Varun Gandhi has been charged under Section 2 and 3 of the NSA for allegedly inciting communal tension in Pilibhit
