NEW DELHI: Chief Justice of India SA Bobde on Thursday came down heavily on the Centre and slammed it for saying that no specific instances of bad reporting were pointed out to it with respect to the communal coverage of the Tablighi Jamaat incident at the beginning of the novel Coronavirus outbreak here.
A bench headed by the CJI was hearing a batch of pleas seeking strict action against the media for communalising the coverage of the Tablighi Jamaat event and the subsequent events as they unfolded. During the hearing, the court also remarked that the freedom of speech may just be the most “abused” freedom of all.
These remarks came after Solicitor-General Tushar Mehta, representing the Central government, told the court that the government had taken a stand in its affidavit and called these petitions “attempts to muzzle freedom of speech”.
