Soon In India? “At VHP Rally In Delhi, BJP Legislators Call For Violence, Economic Boycott Of Muslims: THE
WIRE”: New Delhi: At a rally held in the national capital on Sunday, legislators from the Bharatiya Janata
Party (BJP) gave calls for violence and the economic boycott of an unnamed community, while other
speakers gave hate speeches that openly targeted Muslims.
The BJP leaders were addressing a ‘Virat Hindu Sabha‘ organised by the Vishva Hindu Parishad’s local
unit and other organisations on Sunday. The meeting, held in Northeast Delhi’s Dilshad Garden, was to
protest against the killing of a Hindu man by six Muslim men in East Delhi’s Sunder Nagri last week.
On October 2, the Delhi Police said the matter was not communal, was the product of “personal enmity”,
and had appealed to the public to not give credence to rumours, noting that some people were spreading
“misleading facts” on social media.
Speaking at the event, BJP MP from West Delhi, Parvesh Verma, called for the “total boycott” of “these
people”. Though he did not mention any community, those present at the event applauded in agreement.
When Verma asked, “Do you agree?”, the crowd responded in the affirmative. He then administered an
oath asking the people to boycott the community.
“Wherever you see them, I say that if you want to set their minds straight … then there is only one
remedy, that is complete boycott… Do you agree with this? Raise your hand if you agree. Say with me,
we will completely boycott them, we will not buy any goods from their shops, we will not employ them,
” he said, according to a translation provided by the Indian Express of the video which is viral on social
media.
Verma told the newspaper that he did not name any religious community. “What I said was that the
families whose members carry out such killings should be boycotted. Such families, if they run any
restaurant or any business, should be boycotted. There have been such crimes in my area also. And in
such cases, their business should be boycotted,” he said.
Verma has a history of making inflammatory speeches, including before the Delhi riots of 2020.
BJP MLA from Loni in UP, Nand Kishore Gujjar, speaking at the same event, called Mohammad Akhlaq –
the man who was lynched in Dadri – a “pig” and made light of his 2015 murder:

UPDATED: OCTOBER 10, 2022 21:37 IST: ‘Vague and general submissions won’t do’
The Supreme Court on Monday said while it may agree with a petitioner's view that hate speeches are
sullying the atmosphere across the country and need to be curbed, the court nevertheless needs specific
instances of hate speeches and cannot act on vague and general submissions.
A Bench led by Chief Justice of India U.U. Lalit asked petitioner-in-person Harpreet Mansukhani to focus
on specific instances of hate speech.

right, perhaps, in saying that the entire atmosphere is being sullied as a result of hate speeches. Perhaps
you have every justifiable ground to say that this needs to be curbed," the Bench addressed the petitioner.
However, the court said it could take cognisance only if the facts of specific instances were spelt out.

"This is too random a petition saying that there are 58 instances where someone made a hate speech.
Rather than giving us a vague idea, you concentrate on immediate instances," the Bench told the
petitioner.The case has been adjourned to October 31, 2022. https://www.thehindu.com/news/
