Udaipur-Amravati violence: A trail of hate

The Hindu  

Published : Jul 10, 2022 18:00 IST The killings of a tailor in Udaipur, Rajasthan, and a veterinary pharmacist in Amravati, Maharashtra, for sharing posts in support of suspended BJP spokeswoman Nupur Sharma have triggered a cascade of events, ranging from communal mobilisation by both Hindu and Muslim groups to scathing observations by a two-judge bench on the prevailing incendiary trends. Comments by the bench On July 2, a two-judge bench of the Supreme Court, comprising Justices Surya Kant and J.B. Pardiwala, was convened to hear Nupur Sharma’s petition asking for the clubbing of all FIRs against her to a single Delhi court. Meanwhile, a Delhi-based priest, Ajay Gautam, while endorsing Nupur Sharma’s comments on the Prophet, sent a petition to the Chief Justice of India demanding that the “unwarranted” comments by the judges be withdrawn. A group of retired judges, military officials and bureaucrats also wrote a letter to the CJI criticising the two judges for not protecting the fundamental rights of Nupur Sharma and for breaching “judicial ethics”.
