Prasad- The entire content of this speech focuses on 3 things. The speech was divisive, it was made for specific community and he is attempting to create a complete anarchy.
The speech begins with “Assalam-o- Alaikum ” which means it is made for a particular community.

Prasad-This accused has done his thesis on rioting so he knows how to bring the plan of action.
