Nupur Sharma’s lawyer withdrew her petition after the Supreme Court’s criticismNew Delhi: The Supreme Court today severely criticised perceived inaction against people linked to the big controversy over suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma’s comment on Prophet Muhammad. The court also questioned the Delhi Police’s handling of the case.”…When you file FIRs (First Information Reports) against others they are immediately arrested but when it’s against you nobody has dared to touch you,” Justice Surya Kant said.Ms Sharma’s lawyer, Maninder Singh, said the FIR against Ms Sharma was first filed by the Delhi Police.”What has Delhi police done? Don’t make us open our mouth. What was the TV debate about? Only to fan an agenda? Why did they choose a sub-judice topic? What if she is the spokesperson of a party? She thinks she has back-up of power and can make any statement without respect to the law of the land?” the Supreme Court asked.Her lawyer replied, “There was a question by the anchor to which she responded.””There should have been a case against the host then,” Justice Kant said.
