On Friday , a Haryana court rejected the bail plea of a 19-year-old man arrested this week for allegedly making hate speeches-he allegedly made comments urging the Abduction and killing of girls from a particular religious community at a gathering attended by Haryana BJP spokesperson and Karni Sena president Suraj Pal Amu.
The accused is the same person who fired on anti-citizenship law protesters near Delhi’s Jamia Millia University in January last year, injuring one student. He was only 17 years old.
“Freedom of speech is an integral part of any democratic country…however , this freedom has reasonable restrictions. None can be allowed to ignite fire…because he has freedom of speech and can direct hatred towards a particular group or religious community,” the court declared.
