The Supreme Court on Friday said a panel can be formed by the director general of police (DGP) of Haryana to go into the cases registered in the wake of the recent communal riots in the state that claimed six lives.
The SC was hearing a plea over alleged "blatant hate speeches" calling for killing members of a particular community and their social and economic boycott at rallies in different states, including in Haryana.
The bench asked Additional Solicitor General K M Nataraj, appearing for the Centre, to seek instructions and inform it about the proposed panel. "There has to be some harmony and comity between the communities. I do not know if this has been exaggerated but the problem of hate speech is not good," the SC said.
