The
Supreme Court on Wednesday directed the Centre and the state governments
concerned to ensure no hate speech or violence takes place in Delhi-NCR during
marches being held by VHP and Bajrang Dal to protest the communal clashes in
Haryana's Nuh.
A
bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and S V Bhatti also ordered that additional
police or paramilitary forces be deployed and CCTV cameras be installed in
sensitive areas.
The
top court passed the order after senior advocate C U Singh, appearing for
journalist Shaheen Abdullah, said 23 demonstrations have been announced by
right-wing groups Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal in various parts
of the National Capital Region (NCR).
Six
people, including two home guards, have died in the communal violence which broke
out in Nuh after a mob tried to stop a VHP procession on July 31. As many as
116 people have been arrested so far, according to the state government.
