As the Supreme Court Friday said that Nupur Sharma’s “loose tongue” is “single-handedly responsible” for igniting tension across the country, the BJP’s suspended spokesperson had to withdraw her petition, which asked for all cases against her in several states to be transferred to Delhi in view of a threat to her life.
Multiple FIRs have been filed against Sharma after her remarks on Prophet Muhammad – on a Times Now show on the Gyanvapi case moderated by Navika Kumar – snowballed into a controversy. But before the cases were lodged, Sharma had been granted security by the Delhi police in view of “constant threats to her life”. In fact, when a team of Mumbai police came to the national capital to look for her, she had gone missing.
