'Hate speech can't be tolerated,' says SC rebuking BJP MP Nishikant Dubey – ‘courts not as fragile as flowers…’


Supreme Court gas ccalled the remarks of Bharatiya Janata Party MP Nishikant Dubey “highly irresponsible” and reflective of a penchant to attract attention by casting aspersions on the top Court and its judges

The bench led by Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna, however, refrained from taking action, saying public confidence cannot be shaken by “such absurd statements,” legal news website LiveLaw reported.

Dubey’s remarks show ignorance about the role of the constitutional courts and the duties and obligations bestowed on them under the Constitution, Supreme Court said in its order

Courts are not as fragile as flowers to wither and wilt under such ludicrous statements.

The Supreme Court said it is of the firm opinion that “courts are not as fragile as flowers to wither and wilt under such ludicrous statements”.

Dubey, during an interview to ANI had said that CJI Khanna was to blame for “all civil wars in the country”. The BJP MP made the remarks after the CJI-led bench suggested a stay on the recently passed Waqf (Amendment) Act.

The Court makes it clear that any attempt to spread communal hatred or indulge in hate speech must be dealt with an iron hand.

“Hate Speech cannot be tolerated,” the court said
