The Karnataka High Court stayed yesterday's order of Bijapur Deputy Commissioner and District Magistrate banning the entry of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) International Secretary Praveen Togadia into Bijapur.

Staying the ban on a petition filed by the organisers of 'Virat Hindu Samavesh', Mr Justice Mohana Shantanagoudar said Dr Togadia was permitted to enter and address the Samavesh on July 27. However, he should not make any derogatory speech that would hurt the feelings of other communities. He directed that the meeting should end before 2000 hrs.

Deputy Commissioner G M Dhananjaya had banned the entry of Dr Togadia ainto Bijapur for seven days from July 26.

Earlier, VHP State Secretary Pramod Mutalik asserted today in Bijapur that Mr Togadia would address the 'Virata Hindu Samavesha' at Bijapur on July 27 despite a ban on his entry into the district, Talking to newspersons here, he alleged that the Karnataka Government had yielded to pressure from Wakf Minister M L Ustad and imposed the week-long ban on the entry of Dr Togadia.

''No orders will stop him (Dr Togadia) from entering Bijapur. The State Government will be responsible if any law and order problem arises,'' Mr Mutalik said.
