Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind Moves SC Against Assam CM's 'Communal' Remarks

• Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind has filed a plea in the Supreme Court against Assam CM Hemanta Biswa Sarma's recent public remarks.
• The plea, filed by Maulana Mahmood Madani, President of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, terms the remarks as "communal, deeply divisive, and contrary to the spirit of the Constitution."
• It urges the SC to frame strict guidelines for constitutional position holders to prevent misuse of public offices for spreading hatred or targeting communities.
• The application specifically references a January 27 speech by the Assam CM, alleging objectionable remarks against a minority community.
• Jamiat argues such statements by constitutional functionaries damage social harmony and violate constitutional values, not protected by free speech.

Why It Matters: Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind seeks SC intervention against Assam CM's remarks, urging guidelines for constitutional office holders.
