A public interest litigation has been filed in the Supreme Court alleging incitement of hatred and irresponsible statements by high constitutional functionaries, citing anti-Muslim remarks by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and other senior ministers and governors as examples of violations of constitutional responsibility by persons holding high office.
The petition flags what it describes as repeated statements targeting the Muslim community and argues that such remarks undermine constitutional values and the duties attached to high public offices.
The plea has been filed by 12 social activists, including Roop Rekha Verma, former Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung, John Dayal and others, seeking the court’s intervention in the matter.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.
