The Supreme Court on Friday came down heavily on suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma over her controversial comments on Prophet Mohammed during a TV show and said she “is single-handedly responsible for what is happening in the country” and that “she must apologise to the country”.
Justice Surya Kant, presiding over a two-judge vacation bench, made the remarks while hearing a plea by Sharma seeking clubbing of the different FIRs filed in different states against her over the remarks.
“She has a threat or she has become a security threat?
The way she has ignited emotions across the country… this lady is single-handedly responsible for what is happening in the country,” Justice Surya Kant remarked as senior advocate Maninder Singh pointed out that she was facing threats to life.
