Officers say at least 19 FIRs await govt nod; Fadnavis says moving as per law

according to information obtained by The Indian Express, including records accessed under the Right to Information Act....police are yet to file a chargesheet in at least 19 of the 25 cases, including all 16 linked to SHS. Reason: each of these “sensitive” cases is at various stages of a laborious process to obtain the state government’s sanction for prosecution. Eight of the 19 cases involve MLAs or public figures.,,,

When contacted by The Indian Express for comment on these findings, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who holds the Home portfolio in the BJP-Sena-NCP government, said, “We will take decisions in accordance with the law.” ..A senior officer from Maharashtra police said there was no pendency at their level and that if the required documents are not attached while sending proposals for prosecution sanction, they are pointed out to the officer concerned.

Mujahid Nafees, the convener of the Gujarat-based Minority Coordination Committee, said that as hate spreads, so does ghettoisation. He cited the example of Juhapura, a predominantly Muslim neighbourhood in Ahmedabad, Gujarat’s biggest city, where the community became further ghettoised after the 2002 violence.

Nafees lives in Juhapura. “People prefer to stay in ghettos for their safety. It has its advantages but it pushes for a further marginalisation of Muslims,” he said.

Mamatha Yajaman, a women’s rights activist in Karnataka, said hate speech disproportionately affects women, especially from vulnerable Muslim and Dalit communities. Dalits fall at the bottom of India’s complex caste hierarchy and have faced centuries of discrimination.

And a report by the People’s Union of Civil Liberties (PUCL) in January said at least 84 instances of religious conflict occurred in Karnataka’s coastal districts last year, 44 of them listed under hate speech.

In February, a report by the India Hate Lab, a United States-based research group, documented about 700 hate speeches in the country in 2023.
