To get FIRs clubbed, Stalin, who gave genocidal calls against Hindus, cites case of Nupur Sharma, threatened by Islamsits: Here is how both cases are incomparable
Op IndiaOn Monday, April 1, the Supreme Court turned down the request of senior advocates Abhishek Manu Singhvi, P Wilson and Chitale, representing Tamil Nadu Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, to club multiple criminal complaints registered against him for his remark against Sanatan Dharma. Stalin’s lawyers referred to the Supreme Court’s rulings in the cases of Amish Devgan, Arnab Goswami, Nupur Sharma, and Mohammed Zubair, where the consolidation of FIRs from multiple states was permitted and urged the apex court to club the FIRs filed against Stalin in similar lines. Referring to the multiple FIRs filed against Nupur Sharma in various States until they were consolidated and transferred to one state, Sanghvi said, “Nupur Sharma is pure politician.” The Court questioned Stalin’s decision to file a petition under Article 32 of the Constitution, which provides remedies for the enforcement of fundamental rights, rather than using Section 406 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which gives the Supreme Court the authority to transfer cases and appeals. Why Stalin and Nupur Sharma’s case cannot even be compared It is quite disgusting that the lawyers for Stalin, who called for the genocidal destruction of Hindus, even dared to draw comparisons between it and the case of former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma, who was harassed and intimidated by Islamists for merely quoting the Islamic Hadiths on Prophet Muhammad. While Stalin had openly called for the genocide of Hindus, former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma had merely quoted the Islamic Hadiths on Prophet Muhammad.
