“It is no secret that the BJP seeks to profit from inflaming communal passions. Today, the Supreme Court has strengthened the resolve in every single one of us who are fighting these destructively divisive ideologies,” Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said.
New Delhi: The Congress on Friday said the Supreme Court has rightly called out suspended BJP leader Nupur Sharma for being “single-handedly responsible for igniting emotions across the country” with her remark against the Prophet, and that the ruling party should hang its head in shame.
In a statement after the Supreme Court’s observations against Sharma, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said the court has strengthened the party’s resolve to fight “destructively divisive ideologies”. “The court has very rightly called out the BJP spokesperson for being ‘single-handedly responsible for igniting emotions across the country’, and that she should apologise to the entire nation,” Ramesh said.
