Haridwar Hate Speeches: Supreme Court Says Will Hear The Matter
New Delhi:
Hate speeches including open calls for genocide made at a “Dharma Sansad” in Haridwar will be taken up by the Supreme Court.
“We will take up the matter,” Chief Justice of India NV Ramana said today, responding to a petition raised in court by senior lawyer and Congress leader Kapil Sibal.
“We have filed a Public Interest Litigation on the events that took place at the Dharma Sansad in Haridwar. Slogans of the country have changed from Satyameva Jayate to Sashastramev Jayate,” said Mr Sibal, urging the Supreme Court to act against the controversial religious gathering last month.
“We will look into it. Hasn’t inquiry already taken place,” the Chief Justice asked. Mr Sibal said only FIRs had been filed
