NEW DELHI: With communal tension building up in Uttarakhand, a Muslim advocacy group, Association for Protection of Civil Rights, sought the Supreme Court‘s urgent intervention in directing the state to act against hate speech mongers, but a vacation bench asked the NGO to move the high court and appropriate authorities mandated to maintain law and order in the Himalayan state.
Advocate Sharukh Alam, appearing for the Delhi-based petitioner APCR which is headed by senior advocate Y H Muchhala, persisted with the vacation bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Ahsanuddin Amanullah that the Uttarkashi district administration is remaining a mute spectator to the hate speech and threat to leave the state being given against Muslims.
