Charges of crimen injuria, blasphemy and hate speech have been laid against Mr Chandra Ellaurie at the Isipingo Police Station.

This after Ellaurie sought a court interdict to silence the Athan and shut down the Madrasah Taleemuddeen Islamic Institute’s operations in the residential neighbourhood and sell its property to the state or to a non-Muslim entity.

In a subsequent media interview, Ellaurie (emphatically) made some derogatory statements, impugning our religion.

Brother Yakoob Baig who has requested that the matter be handled by the Equality court.
