Delhi Court Issues Notice to Assam CM on Plea Over Alleged Hate Speech Remarks
A Delhi court has issued notice to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and Delhi Police regarding activist Harsh Mander's plea seeking an FIR against Sarma for alleged inflammatory remarks about 'miya' voters during Assam's special intensive revision in January. The court scheduled the hearing for July 15, reviewing a magistrate's earlier dismissal citing territorial jurisdiction. Mander's petition invokes sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita related to promoting enmity and public mischief, arguing for investigation despite jurisdiction concerns.
