SC to hear plea against hate speech event on Feb 5

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear a plea seeking to prohibit an alleged hate speech event scheduled to be held on February 5 in Mumbai. A bench of Justice KM Joseph, Justice Aniruddha Bose and Justice Hrishikesh Roy said it will seek instructions from Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and subject to his approval post the matter for hearing on Friday. “We are with you on this, but understand that the Supreme Court cannot be triggered every time there is a rally notified. We have already passed an order which is clear enough. Just imagine rallies happening all across the country. Every time there will be an application before the Supreme Court. How can that be feasible? You ask us to be embarrassed again and again by getting an order. We have passed so many orders yet nobody is taking action. The Supreme Court should not be asked to pass an order on an event to event basis,” the bench observed. The observation came after a lawyer mentioned the matter, saying the issue needs urgent hearing against the alleged hate speech rally in Mumbai to be organised by the Hindu Jan Akrosh Morcha.
