The Delhi Cops must extend the same alacrity to act against leaders who spewed hate and resulted in 53 deaths in Delhi riots as they are revealing against activist Harsh Mander for his “contemptuous speech”, senior advocate Dushyant Dave told the Supreme Court on Friday.
Mr. Dave was reacting to submissions made by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, for the Delhi Cops, that an affidavit had been filed promptly detailing Mr. Mander’s alleged transgressions.
” He [Mr. Mehta] need to bring the very same sort of affidavit versus the leaders who delighted in hate speeches and caused the deaths of 53 people”, Mr. Dave, appearing for Mr. Mander, said before a Bench led by Chief Justice of India Sharad A. Bobde.
