"We watched the discussion about how she was incited." But it's shameful how she stated all of this and then claimed to be a lawyer. The judge remarked, "She should have apologized to the nation on broadcast."
Digital Desk: The Supreme Court
slammed suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma on Friday for making
controversial comments about Prophet Mohammed during a TV show, saying she
"is solely responsible for what is happening in the country" and that
she "must apologise to the country."
Presiding over a two-judge vacation
bench, Kant made the remarks while hearing Sharma's plea for the clubbing of
the various FIRs filed against her in different states over the remarks.
"Does
she pose a security risk or has she become a security risk?" The way she
has sparked emotions all over the country, "This lady is solely
responsible for what is happening in the country," Justice Surya Kant
said, as senior advocate Maninder Singh pointed out that she was facing life
threats.
She had
issued a formal apology, according to Singh, but Justice Kant said that it was
"too late to retract" and that it had been done "conditionally,
admitting that sensibilities were wounded."
"We watched the discussion about
how she was incited." But it's shameful how she stated all of this and
then claimed to be a lawyer. The judge remarked, "She should have apologized to the nation on broadcast."
In response to her direct approach to
the Supreme Court, the judge stated that "the petition smacks of her
arrogance, that the Magistrates of the country are too small for her."
"What if she is the spokesperson for a political party?" "She
believes she has backup power and that she can make any statement she wants
without regard to the law of the land," Justice Kant said. Sharma made the
remarks on May 27 during a debate on the Gyanvapi mosque issue.
In
his critique of the TV debate, Justice Kant questioned why it chose a
contentious topic. "What was the point of the TV debate?" Is there
only a fan agenda? "Why did they choose a contentious topic?" he
inquired. When it was pointed out that the remarks were in response to a question
from the anchor, the judge said there should have been a case against the host.
Singh stated
that such an intention did not exist. "The shivling was repeatedly
described as nothing more than a fountain or a fawarra. The opposing debater,
not the anchor, stated this." "If this is the position," the
senior counsel says, "then every citizen will have no right to
speak."
The court also questioned the Delhi Police's response in
the case "What action has the Delhi Police taken? Don't force us to open
our mouths."
Finally, the Supreme Court refused to
grant Nupur Sharma relief.
