Nupur Sharma is facing cases across the country over an objectionable remark made against the Prophet
Nupur Sharma must apologise to the whole country for the remarks made against Prophet Muhammad, the Supreme Court observed on Friday. The court made the observation as Sharma, suspended by the BJP for making the remark, moved the court seeking transfer of all FIRs against her to Delhi.
Nupur Sharma's lawyer Maninder Singh told the court that she had apologised to the country for the remarks and withdrew her comments against the Prophet. "She should have gone to the TV and apologized to the nation," the court said in response.
Nupur Sharma had made the objectionable remark during a television debate on the Gyanvapi mosque row.
The court admonished her for this saying, "What is the business of the TV channel and Nupur Sharma to discuss the matter which is sub-judice, except to promote an agenda?"
The Supreme Court refused to grant relief to Nupur Sharma and made several strong remarks against her. Sharma later withdrew the plea.
The Supreme Court said Nupur Sharma has threatened the security of the nation. It aid her loose tongue has sent the entire country on fire and that her outburst was responsible for Kanhaiya Lal's murder in Udaipur.
"What is the business of the TV channel and Nupur Sharma to discuss the matter which is sub-judice, except to promote an agenda?" the court added.
When her lawyer told the Supreme Court there was a threat to her life, Justice Surya Kant said she has herself become a security threat. "The way she has ignited emotions across the country, she is single-handedly responsible for what is happening in the country," he said..
The Supreme Court also remarked that Nupur Sharma was not arrested despite multiple FIRs against her.
