Top Court to hear a plea against the Sudarshan TV programme acclaimed as a ''big expose on the conspiracy" of Muslims indulging in "infiltrating government service''.

#SupremeCourtofIndia
@SureshChavhanke

Though top court had refused to pass a pre-broadcast injunction order against the show, expression of views derogatory to a particular community had a "divisive potential" & the petition had raised significant issues bearing on the "protection of constitutional rights".

The court while doing so had thus issued notice to Union of India, Press Council of India, News Broadcasters Association as well as Sudarshan News, returnable today.

Seven former Civil servants have also intervened in the plea seeking an authoritative ruling, setting out the scope and meaning of "hate speech" so that there more clarity on the issue and there is no abuse of power.

Chaudhari: Now even the second broadcast has been done. It is so blatantly communal, you cannot even imagine.

Justice Chandrachud: 9th September, the Ministry allowed the broadcast?

Chaudhari: No, they expressed reservations and took written assurance from channel. Didn't go into detail. I have attached the Transcripts. It is so communal. Say the Muslims are infiltrating the UPSC, they bounce bomb graphics ...

Chaudhari: They have interlinked an ex Prime Minister with terrorism. Expletives being used for him. All kinds of people and even youngsters watch this channel, what about the impression this can create in their minds?
