Hate speech a criminal act, higher echelons of ruling party endorsing it: Former SC judge

India Today  

Expressing concern over increasing incidents of hate speech, former Supreme Court judge, Justice Rohinton Nariman said it was a criminal act and suggested that Parliament should amend provisions to give minimum sentences to those guilty of it. On the other hand, you have persons giving hate speech -- calling for genocide, and we find great reluctance among some of the authorities to book these people," he said while giving a keynote address on “Constitutional Underpinnings of the Rule of Law”. If we really want to strengthen the rule of law as contained in our Constitution, I would suggest strongly that Parliament amends these provisions to provide minimum sentences so that the act has deterrence to others who make hate speech." HIGHER ECHELONS OF RULING PARTY ALMOST ENDORSING HATE SPEECH “We also, unfortunately, have higher echelons of the ruling party not only being silent over hate speech but also almost endorsing it," he said.
