Nupur Sharma Should Apologize To The Whole Country, She Alone Is Responsible For The Udaipur Incident: Supreme Court
New Delhi : The Supreme Court has told Nupur Sharma that she should apologize to the entire country regarding Nupur Sharma’s controversial remarks on Prophet Muhammad. Due to her controversial statement, the Udaipur incident was carried out. The Supreme Court said that former BJP leader Nupur Sharma, whose remarks on Prophet Muhammad generated massive anger in Gulf countries and protested across the country. The violence took place in many places. Now Nupur Sharma should come forward and apologize to the whole country. Justice Surya Kant said, “We have seen the debate on how she was provoked. But the way she said all this and later said that she was a lawyer, is shameful. She should apologize to the entire nation.”
The Supreme Court was responding to Nupur Sharma’s plea seeking the transfer of all FIRs registered against her to Delhi. Her lawyer said that Nupur Sharma is facing threats. Justice Surya Kant said, “She has to face threats, or has she become a security threat? The way she has ignited sentiments in the entire country. This woman alone is responsible for what is happening in the country.”
The court snubbed Nupur Sharma’s argument on “equal treatment” and “no discrimination”. “But when you file FIRs against others, they are immediately arrested but when it’s against you nobody has dared to touch you,” the judges said. Her comments showed her “obstinate and arrogant character”, said the Supreme Court.
“What if she is the spokesperson of a party. She thinks she has back up of power and can make any statement without respect to the law of the land?”
Nupur Sharma’s argument citing an order about protecting journalistic freedom did not wash. “She cannot be put on the pedestal of a journalist. When she goes and lambasts on a TV debate and makes irresponsible statements without thinking of the ramifications and consequences that it will have on the fabric of society,” said the Supreme Court.
