VHP international president Praveen Togadia has moved the court against the decision of the Bengaluru Police Commissioner who has issued an order banning his entry for a week to the IT city. Togadia on Wednesday  moved the High Court seeking lifting of the ban imposed by the State police on his entry into the city for attending an event. In a petition filed, he said that the ban is undemocratic and against the Constitutional right of a citizen and hence the ban should be lifted to facilitate him to enter the City and participate in the Virat Hindu Samajotsava scheduled to be held on February 8. The petition is expected to come up for hearing before a single Bench on Thursday. City Commissioner of Police M N Reddi on Tuesday announced ban on the entry of Mr Togadia from February 5 to 11.
