Hate-speech FIRs gather dust year after Maharashtra assured SC of action; no chargesheet in most cases https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/hate-speech-firs-gather-dust-year-after-maharashtra-assured-sc-of-action-no-chargesheet-in-most-cases-9581302/
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.

PUCL Maharashtra has decided to showcase information on Hate Speech in Maharashtra as presented in the different websites, social media of Civil Society organisations and concerned individuals. Each one has their own style of documentation and each one is a shining node. We hope to have a decentralised platform which will valorise whatever work individuals an organisations are doing, such that while they do their regular work of posting, creating websites, blogs, data directories, such that it can be searched, and researched, and help activist (information activist, if you will) curate this content into learning modules, state of the art reports.. letting a thousand nodes glow.

He stated that, “Our government is very bad. What is going on around I am aware of everything. You don’t have to struggle. Wherever something wrong is happening, wherever someone tries to slaughter a cow, wherever someone tries to smuggle, wherever green snakes try to wriggle, just make one call, and leave the rest of the arrangements to me., https://cjp.org.in/the-role-of-leaders-in-spreading-divisive-rhetoric/
