Kapil Sibal: This is that Qurban Ali matter.
Bench: About Himachal? Your original plea was for Delhi & Uttarakhand.
Kapil Sibal: They are holding these dharam sansads in place to place. #dharamsansad

Kapil Sibal: What the dharam sansad speeches are doing - i do not even want to read it out. These transcripts *laughs*
Bench: We have read it. But those guidelines are already there, according to SC judgment of Tehseen Poonawalla.

Bench asks State of Himachal Pradesh whether they have taken steps according to Apex Court judgment of Tehseen Poonawalla.
State of HP: This is already over in HP #DharamSansad
Kapil Sibal: SO?

Bench tells state of Himachal Pradesh counsel to file status reports.
State of Himachal Pradesh Counsel tells Court that the steps have been taken.
Kapil Sibal says they haven’t made any arrests #dharamsansad

Supreme Court: Let state of Himachal pradesh file a status report as to what steps they have taken. “These events don’t just mushroom. They are announced well in advance. What steps have you taken to prevent them?” #dharamsansad

Counsel for State of Uttarakhand: Have some faith on us. These people say they will hold a Sansad but we do not know what will be the material of it.
Supreme Court: Trust is for everyone. But things are not same on ground. #dharamsansad

Counsel for Uttarakhand: These people are referring to a particular community. Associating a particular colour with a community. The community they are trying to protect is also doing the same thing.
Kapil Sibal: What! I never said anything! #dharamsansad

Bench: You do not take account of such matters like this! We are taking this on record now. The chief secretary will be present if this does not happen - that those who are holding this event do not do all this. You will be held responsible! #dharamsansad

Bench records statement of counsel or Uttarakhand that all preventive steps have been taken and authorities are more than confident that no untoward incident will take place in the #dharamsansad events set to take place (roorkee)
