Delhi Police had told the top court that “no specific words against any community were uttered” at an event organised here by the ‘Hindu Yuva Vahini’ on December 19 last year.

“The affidavit has been filed by the Deputy Commissioner of Police. We hope he has understood the nuances. Has he merely reproduced the inquiry report or applied mind? Is it your stand as well or the reproduction of inquiry report of sub-inspector level officer?” a bench of Justices A M Khanwilkar and Abhay S Oka asked.

The bench questioned can such a stand be taken on an affidavit before the court and wanted to know who verified the affidavit and if Delhi Police was accepting it as a correct finding.

Additional Solicitor General (ASG) K M Nataraj, appearing for the Delhi Police, said they will have a “re-look” of the matter and file a fresh affidavit.

“The ASG seeks time to get instructions from authorities to file a better affidavit… Two weeks time prayed for. List this matter on May 9. Better affidavit be filed on or before May 4,” the bench said.

The top court was hearing a petition filed by journalist Qurban Ali and former Patna High Court judge and senior advocate Anjana Prakash, who has also sought a direction for an “independent, credible and impartial investigation” by an SIT into incidents of hate speeches against the Muslim community.

As the hearing commenced, senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for the petitioners, drew the attention of the bench towards extracts of the speech and the enquiry report of the Sub Inspector (PS Okhla Industrial Area).

The counter affidavit of the Delhi Police says an inquiry has been conducted and that the persons had gathered to ‘save ethics of their community .

In the speech in question, they say, ‘We are ready to kill’! And the Delhi Police say it is to ‘save the ethics of the community? Your Lordships may fix it for hearing and decide what constitutionally ethics are ” Sibal said.

The bench then asked the law officer if any senior officer has verified the affidavit.

“Some superior officer has seen it? Who has verified it? Has there been an application of mind as to if this stand can be taken on affidavit before the court? This affidavit is filed by the deputy commissioner of police? He accepts this position?

“Is this his understanding or only a reproduction of IO’s report? We want to understand from you the affidavit filed before this court by the deputy commissioner of police, a senior officer, the bench said.

The apex court asked the ASG if Delhi Police was accepting it as a correct finding?

This is the reproduction of the inquiry report prepared by a sub-inspector level officer or is it your stand? If it is so, then we have to ask the Commissioner of Police to look into it if this is your stand also?” the bench said.

The opposition leaders had asked for a discussion on president’s speech and farmers’ protest but Rajya Sabha chairman Venkaiah Naidu said it will take place on Wednesday.

“President has referred to farmers’ agitation in his address. I wanted the discussion to start today but I was told that the discussion first starts in Lok Sabha. Keeping this in mind we have agreed to have a discussion on President’s address tomorrow,” he said.

Opposition parties including the Congress, Left, TMC and DMK on Tuesday staged a walkout from the Rajya Sabha after their demand for suspension of business of the day to take up a discussion on more than two-month-old farmers’ agitation was rejected by the Chairman.

The opposition parties had given notice under rule 267 calling for the suspension of business of the day to take up discussion on the ongoing agitation by farmers on Delhi borders against three new farm laws.

When the House met for the day, Chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu said he has received notice under rule 267 from various members but the issue can be raised during the discussion on motion of thanks to the President’s address to the joint sitting of both House of Parliament.

दिल्ली पुलिस ने खुद स्वीकार किया है कि 26 जनवरी को दिल्ली में होने वाली किसान ट्रेक्टर रैली में कुछ लोग गड़बड़ी कर सकते है खासतौर पर पाकिस्तान की तरफ से सोशल मीडिया पर माहौल बिगाड़ने की कोशिश हो रही है .

दिल्ली पुलिस ने ट्रेक्टर रैली को मंजूरी दे दी है लेकिन साथ ही सुरक्षा के कड़े इंतजाम करने का निर्देश भी दिया है ताकि कोई फायदा नहीं उठा सके .

हालांकि मंजूरी मिलने के बाद अब किसानों ने ट्रैक्टर रैली की टाइमिंग और रूट पर सवाल उठाया है.

किसान मजदूर संघर्ष कमेटी के नेता सुखविंदर सिंह सभरा ने कहा, ‘शर्तों के साथ ट्रैक्टर रैली निकालने की बात हमें मंजूर नहीं है. 12 बजे रैली निकालने का कोई तुक नहीं है.’ इसके साथ ही उन्होंने रूट को लेकर भी सवाल उठाया और कहा, ‘किसान ओल्ड रिंग रोड से जाना चाहते थे, लेकिन रैली को जिन इलाकों से इजाजत दी है वो सब हरियाणा में आते है .

दिल्ली पुलिस के स्पेशल कमिश्नर- इंटेलिजेंस दीपेंद्र पाठक ने कहा, ‘ट्रैक्टर रैली को डिस्टर्ब करने के बहुत सारे इनपुट्स बार-बार आ रहे हैं। इंटेलिजेंस और अन्य एजेंसियों से हमें पता चला है कि गणतंत्र दिवस पर किसानों के ट्रैक्टर मार्च में गड़बड़ी का खतरा है। गड़बड़ी और कन्फ्यूजन फैलाने के उद्देश्य से पाकिस्तान में 308 नए ट्विटर हैंडल बनाए गए हैं।’ दिल्ली पुलिस की ओर से पाकिस्तान में बनाए गए ट्विटर हैंडल्स की लिस्ट भी जारी की गई है।

पाठक ने आगे कहा, ’13 जनवरी से 18 जनवरी के बीच सोशल मीडिया ऐनालिसिस से पता चलता है कि ट्रैक्टर रैली को डिस्टर्ब करने लिए, भ्रम पैदा करने के लिए 308 ट्विटर हैंडल पाकिस्तान से जेनरेट हुए हैं। वे इसपर लगातार काम कर रहे हैं। देश के कई जगहों से इनपुट्स हैं कि रैली के वक्त गड़बड़ी और कानून व्यवस्था को लेकर चुनौतियां पैदा की जाने की साजिश है।’

हम किसानों की ट्रैक्टर रैली को सुरक्षित तरीके से संपन्न करा पाएं, इसको लेकर चर्चा हुई है। हरियाणा और यूपी के अधिकारियों के साथ भी सुरक्षा को लेकर चर्चा हुई है। एक खास समय पर, एक खास तरीके से, पेशेवर तरीके से रैली को आयोजित करने कोशिश की जाएं। सुरक्षा के सभी जरूरी प्रबंध किए जाएंगे।
