SC seeks explanation from NRC coordinator on FB posts
The Supreme Court on Monday asked the Assam government to ensure newly appointed NRC coordinator Hitesh Dev Sarma explained or withdrew some of his objectionable and communal Facebook posts related to the presence of illegal immigrants in the bordering state. A bench comprising of Chief Justice S A Bobde and Justice B R Gavai and Justice Surya Kant passed its direction on a plea made by senior advocate Kapil Sibal, who cited some of the posts on “East Pakistani Muslims” and “minority appeasement” made by the officer, to show his predilections.
