The Supreme Court on 1 July, slammed Sharma for controversial comments and held her responsible for whatever communal incidents are happening across the country.
The apex court even said that her ‘loose tongue’ has “set the entire country on fire" and that she is “single-handedly responsible for what is happening in the country."
Sharma's request for the clubbing of FIRs was denied by a vacation bench of Justices Surya Kant and JB Pardiwala, however they did allow Sharma to withdraw the request.
Sharma, while debating in a TV debate, had made a statement about the Prophet Muhammad that led to nationwide outrage and stern responses from various Gulf nations.
Meanwhile, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has spoken on the Nupur Sharma controversy.
“The atmosphere in the country has been created by the ruling dispensation. It is not the person who has made the comment. It is the Prime Minister. It is the Home Minister. It's the BJP and the RSS. It's an anti-national act, " said Gandhi.
