The observations made by the honourable justices of the Supreme Court in reference to Nupur Sharma’s plea of clubbing her FIR’s – which is only the prerogative of the Supreme court – has shocked and stunned the nation.
Article 21 of the constitution which according to the Supreme court is at the “heart of fundamental rights,” and is explicit in reaffirming the ” Right of women to be treated with decency and dignity,” and “Right to social security and protection of self and family”, seems to have been overlooked in the hasty observations.
With open beheading threats being issued on videos to Nupur Sharma by religious fanatics and hate mongers she was well within her rights to approach the highest court and seek clubbing of all FIR’s against her so that she did not have to move from one state to another and be a sitting duck for jihadis who are baying for her blood.
However instead of ensuring her personal safety and security by clubbing her FIR’s the honourable judges apart from reprimanding her for her insidious remarks held her responsible for the beheadings of Kanihya Lal and Umesh Kolhe which according to the observation of the esteemed judges happened because of the incendiary, provocative and inflammatory remarks of Nupur on a private channel debate.
In blaming Nupur for the hindu beheadings and not clubbing the FIR’s against her the highest court has thrown her to the wolves (Islamic radicals). The highest court has blamed the ghastly and gory beheadings of innocent hindus on the alleged incendiary and inflammatory and blasphemous remarks of Nupur aired on a news channel which was in response to a provocative comment by a fellow panelist.
Nupur should be brought to book for her blasphemous comments but does that deny her the right to seek justice from the highest court of the land which is the upholder of our constitution. Remember this is the same land where a mass murderer like Kasab was given state protection which cost the state exchequer crores before he was eventually sent to the gallows.
If god forbid Nupur Sharma were to be killed by these radical Islamic terrorists who have indulged in such horrendous and cowardly acts throughout the world then will the highest court accept the blame for her killing.
The dastardly and cold blooded killing of the French secondary school teacher Samuel Paty in Conflans- Saint- Honorine on 16th October 2020 is still fresh in memory. The perpetrator of this heinous crime was Abdoullakh Anzorov and the weapon used to throttle the voice of the innocent teacher was a CLEAVER. So if we go by the observations of the Supreme court judges then the onus of the the ghastly murder of Sameul lies with herself for mocking at the prophet and the perpetrator of this dastardly act was well within his rights for the way he acted.
This is ludicrous and preposterous and will set a dangerous precedent though it’s just an observation and not a judgement. The fanatics, radicals and jihadi elements will be further emboldened by these observations to carry out their nefarious designs in the country.
Men holding high offices particularly those of the highest court in the land should restrain from making such observations as their is a very thin line between a personal observation and a judgment because the former is most likely to reflect on the latter.
A person has been denied a simple right – which could be the difference between life and death for her – by the highest court and her life has been left to the mercy of maniacs and Islamic radicals on the pretext that she was instrumental in instigating the gruesome lynching and beheadings of innocent Hindus.
Islamic jihad and it’s fanatics have been responsible for such beheadings and macabre murders in the past and history is replete with such massacres carried out by invaders like Ghazni’s, Khilji’s and Aurangzeb’s to name a few who did not need any instigators like Nupur to behead, slaughter or maim thousands if not millions of the opposite faith.
In fact Europe has seen the ugly side of fanaticism, intolerance and Islamic jihad in recent times and the incidents are bound to increase with the burgeoning immigrant population.
The observations by the Supreme court judges are in poor light and do not take into account the history of Islamic terrorists, terror and jihadi mindset being nurtured across the border in terror factories and in madarsas in our own country which is the root cause of such gory killings. The target killings of kashmiri Hindus in the valley is going unabated without any provocation.
How many death threats and open videos of beheadings did Mahua Moitra and Leena Maimekalai receive from Hindu bigots and Right wing fundamentalists for her blasphemous and derogatory remarks on Maa Kaali which hurt the sentiments of millions of Hindus. That sums up the levels of tolerance and where sanity lies.
The honourable judges could have been more sane.
