TV presenters' responsibility to control hate
speech in debates: Supreme Court
New Delhi: The Supreme Court has expressed
deep displeasure over hate speech in news channels and asked why the government
is a silent spectator and is there any intention to implement laws as per the
recommendations of the Law Commission to prevent such incidents? I asked. The
Supreme Court has said that it is the duty of anchors to prevent hate speech in
news channels' talk shows. A bench comprising Justices KM Joseph and Hrishikesh
Roy opined that an institutional mechanism is needed to control hate speech.
The role of news anchors is so important that hateful statements such as these
are unchecked, neither in the mainstream media nor on social media. Mainstream
news outlets still hold sway. The court said that it is the responsibility of
TV presenters to control hate speech in debates and in many cases those who
want to speak are muted.
Parties cannot be banned for hate speech,
no definition under law:
Election Commission
New Delhi: The Election Commission of India has told the Supreme Court
that it has no legal authority to cancel the registration of candidates or
political parties on the grounds of hate speech. In an affidavit submitted to
the Supreme Court, it said that there is no definition of hate speech under
Indian law. It is explained in the affidavit that since there are no laws to
prevent the spread of hate speech and rumors by politicians and political
parties during elections, the Election Commission has instructed the leaders of
the political parties not to make any statements or words that disturb the
harmony in the society under the Indian Penal Code and RP Act 1951. This has
been said in the affidavit submitted by the Election Commission in response to
BJP leader Ashwin Kumar's request to curb hate speech. In the case of Election
Commission Affidavit, Pravasi Bhilai Sangathan v. Union of India (2014), the
Supreme Court referred to the question of whether the Law Commission should be
empowered to re-recognise a political party or disqualify its members for hate
speech. The Supreme Court asked the Law Commission to make recommendations to
Parliament to define hate speech and prevent intimidation. But the Election
Commission pointed out in the affidavit that the 267th report of the commission
did not answer the question of the court. The Election Code of Conduct has been
amended and strict action will be taken and show cause notice issued against
the candidate or those related to him who have made hate speech. A list of
rules to be followed during elections has been prepared. It is stated in the
affidavit that there is a lot of publicity about the rules and amendments of
the Election Commission and the purpose of this is to reach the candidates
contesting the elections and the political parties.
