The Supreme Court Today (Dec 19) refused to entertain a plea alleging failure of Uttar Pradesh Police to act against the Dharam Sansad slated to be organized by Yati Narasinghanand and others in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad this week. The contempt of court petition filed by a group of civil society members including former bureaucrats was heard by a Bench of Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna and Justice PV Sanjay Kumar.
Today, On 16th December, Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna urged petitioners opposing the ‘Dharam Sansad’ in Ghaziabad to request an expedited hearing. The petition, led by Prashant Bhushan, claims the event advocates “genocide of Muslims.” Organized by Yati Narsinghanand, it raises concerns over hate speech and potential communal unrest, reflecting past controversies.
