Supreme Court slams Nupur Sharma

Meanwhile, The Supreme Court has on Friday slammed suspended BJP national spokesperson Nupur Sharma for making “disturbing” statements against Prophet Muhammad and asked her to tender “conditional apology” for the public uproar sparked after her remarks across the country.

“What is her business to make these remarks?…The way she has ignited emotions across the country… This lady is single handedly responsible for what is happening in the country,” the vacation bench of Justices Surya Kant and JP Pardiwala said on Friday as they came down heavily on Nupur Sharma while hearing her plea to club FIRs and transfer all to Delhi.

The apex court said that her (Nupur Sharma) loose tongue has set the entire country on fire. It observed that her outburst is responsible for the unfortunate incident in Udaipur where a tailor was brutally killed by two men in broad daylight.

Nupur Sharma had filed a transfer application in the Supreme Court and had urged to move all the cases against her in different states to Delhi as her “life is in danger due to constant threats”.
