The Supreme Court on Friday was unsparing on BJP leader Nupur Sharma for her "disturbing" remark against Prophet Mohammad, saying it has led to unfortunate incidents in the country. Turning down Sharma's plea for clubbing of FIRs lodged in various states against her for the remark, a vacation bench of Justices Surya Kant and JB Pardiwala allowed her to withdraw the plea. The court said the remark was made either for cheap publicity, political agenda or some nefarious activities. Coming down heavily on Sharma, the court said that her loose tongue has not only set the entire country on fire, but she is also responsible for the unfortunate incident in Udaipur where a tailor, Kanhaiya Lal, was killed by two men over a post in which he supported Sharma amid the Prophet remark row.
