Justice Rohinton Fali Nariman led bench of #SupremeCourt to hear a plea by former Shia Waqf Board Chairman Waseem Rizvi to remove 26 verses of the Quran. Rizvi describes the Quranic verses as "terror-promoting" & that they were added later to the holy book of Muslims
#Quran
Advocate: Madarasas are entrusted to maintain the standard of teaching. The holy book is apart of imparting education in Madarasas. Children at tender age is in captivity of schools for few hours.
Senior Adv RK Raizada: This is not protected under Artcile 25. There is alternate interpretation is possible, these things are taught in school and thus no place for interpretation in market place for ideas. I have written to Centre but nothing is happening.
Raizada: students are not to be indoctrinated. Salafists and Wahabis are using this. This means internationalisation of terror is happening
Judged concur among themselves
SC: Petition dismissed. 50,000 costs imposed on petitioner
