The apex court’s direction came during the hearing of the hate speech case. When we passed the order to take suo motu action against hate speeches, we had only public good in mind. Last month, the top court said hate speech is a “vicious cycle” and will end when politics and religion are separated and politicians stop using religion in politics. A bench of Justices KM Joseph and BV Nagaratna said hate speeches are being made by anti-social elements and people should restrain themselves from doing so. All this will stop when politicians stop using religion.
