New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a plea to arrest suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma for her alleged controversial statement o Prophet Mohammad and hurting sentiments of the Muslim community.
A bench led by Chief Justice of India UU Lalit suggested to the petitioner to withdraw the plea.

A number of Muslim nations had also registered their protest following which the government issued a statement in this regard. The BJP also distanced itself from Sharma’s comments in the aftermath and suspended her from the party.
