New Delhi, January 10

The Supreme Court today agreed to hear a PIL seeking action against those responsible for delivering hate speeches during the “Dharam Sansad” at Haridwar in Uttarakhand last month.

“Alright, we will take up the matter,” a three-judge Bench led by Chief Justice of India NV Ramana told senior advocate Kapil Sibal who mentioned a petition filed by journalist Qurban Ali and senior advocate Anjana Prakash for urgent hearing.

As the CJI asked if action hasn’t already been taken in the matter, Sibal alleged that despite registration of an FIR, no action had been taken against those who made hate speeches.

The petitioners sought the court’s urgent intervention in respect of the hate speeches delivered between December 17 and 19, 2021, at an event organised by Yati Narsinghanand in Haridwar and another one by the “Hindu Yuva Vahini” in Delhi.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
