New Delhi: Opposing the plea against the hate speeches at religious gatherings in Haridwar and Delhi that evoked public outrage across the country, counter appeals have been filed by a couple of right-wing groups in the Supreme Court.
Both organisations have appealed to the top court to make them party in the case.
Hindu Sena president Vishnu Gupta has sought via the appeal that Muslim leaders be arrested for their hate speeches instead.
According to the appeal, religious leaders’ statements at Dharam Sansad were responses to attacks on Hindu culture by non-Hindus, and cannot be described as “Hate speech”.
“Efforts are being made to scandalise the spiritual leaders of Hindus… The petitioner belongs to the Muslim community and is not supposed to raise objections against affairs or activities related to Hindu Dharm Sansad (sic),” read the plea.
The plea cited the appeal filed by journalist Qurban Ali against the speeches at the religious forums that have evoked countrywide outrage.
