The plea filed was filed by Hindu Front For Justice and Hindu Sena as an intervention application in a petition already pending before the top court seeking probe into the Haridwar Dharam Sansad hate speeches targeting the Muslim community.
The petition pending before the Supreme Court was filed by former Patna High Court judge, Justice Anjana Prakash and journalist Qurban Ali seeking directions for an independent, impartial and credible probe into Anti-Muslim hate speeches by an SIT.
Notably, the Supreme Court on January 12 had issued notice on the said plea to the Central Government and the Uttarakhand government.
The intervention application by the two Hindu groups claimed that since the Supreme Court has agreed to examine hate speeches against the Muslim community, it should also examine hate speeches against the Hindu community.
“The applicants herein through the present application are praying to this court to direct an SIT to investigate the hate speeches given against the members of the Hindu community, their gods and goddesses,” the intervention application said.
