New Delhi : The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the PIL of Dharam Sansad hate speech case where anti-Muslim statements were allegedly delivered at a religious gathering of Hindus in Uttarakhand’s Haridwar organised by controversial Hindutva leader Yati Narsinghanand.
Senior advocate Kapil Sibal told the Supreme Court that the Dharm Sansad hate speech issue is “very dangerous”. “An FIR has been registered but no action or arrest has been made so far,” I request the Supreme Court to take cognisance of the matter,” he said. To which Chief Justice of India Replied and Says Alright, we’ll take up the matter
Provocative and communal speeches were made against minority communities during a three-day “Dharam Sansad” or religious assembly held in Uttarakhand’s Haridwar from December 17 to December 19. Several Hindu religious leaders, who addressed the gathering, called upon the community to take up arms against Muslims as they gave a clarion call for a ‘Hindu nation’.
