The Supreme Court on January 16 directed the district magistrate and superintendent of police of Maharashtra's Yavatmal and Chhattisgarh's Raipur to ensure no hate speeches are made during rallies of a Hindu outfit and BJP legislator T. Raja Singh scheduled to be held in the next one week in their jurisdiction.
A Bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta refused to stay the scheduled rallies, saying the parties against whom the allegations of hate speeches are made are not before the court.
