'Indelible scar': Ex-judges, officials criticize SC comments on Nupur Sharma

• 15 former judges, 77 former bureaucrats and 25 retired officers of the armed forces have criticised the Supreme Court's recent comments against former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma, whose remarks on Prophet Mohammed led to protests and a diplomatic row. Their open letter tweeted by ANI, says the two-judge bench's observation that Nupur is “single-handedly responsible for what is happening in the country” was a “virtual exoneration of the dastardliest beheading at Udaipur”. The open letter issued today says those “unfortunate and unprecedented comments” from the bench of Justice Surya Kant and Justice JB Pardiwala “are not in sync with judicial ethos.” Watch this video for more details.
