"Hate Speech Unacceptable, Need To Stop It": Supreme Court To Centre

The Supreme Court today ordered the Centre to work on forming a committee to look into hate speech cases across the country. A petition by journalist Shaheen Abdullah requested the Supreme Court to give a direction to the Centre to crack down on "blatant hate speeches", which called for killing members of a community and their economic and social boycott in rallies held across the country, including in Haryana, where communal clashes last week killed six.
