一 | New Delhi, Oct 21 (UNI) Expressing its serious concern over the way, some of the hate speeches were made against the minority communities during recent religious congregations, the Supreme Court questioned as to where we have reached, what have we reduced religion to?
"Where have we reached? What have we reduced religion to? What have we reduced God to? It is tragic," a two-judge bench of the Supreme Court, headed by Justice K M Joseph and also comprising Justice Hrishikesh Roy, observed.
"The statements are certainly very shocking for a country that is to be religion neutral," the Supreme Court said, and expressed shock at some of the statements and hate speech made against minority communities during certain recent religious congregations.
The Apex Court was hearing a plea filed by the petitioner, Shaheen Abdullah, seeking urgent direction, interventions and or orders to stop the hate speeches made against the Muslim community.
"A country which is a democracy and religion neutral, you are saying it there should be action in IPC. But it's against one community. It is sad," the Supreme Court observed.
Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for the petitioner, Abdullah, presented a recent "Hindu Sabha" as an example where BJP MP from West Delhi, Parvesh Verma, called for the "total boycott" of "these people" apparently referring to Muslims.
The Supreme Court said, in its order that "the respondent (authorities) will issue directions to their subordinates in this regard without looking at the religion of the accused, so that the secular nature of India is preserved.*
The Supreme Court also in its order directed that the respective governments and police authorities should take suo motu action in cases of hate speeches and they should not wait for lodging of a formal complaint.
"Such action is needed to be taken to preserve secular character of the country," the Supreme Court observed and expressed its shock over the way the hate speeches are made.
Abdullah, the petitioner, said the Muslim community is being "targeted and terrorised" by the participation of the members of the ruling political party in delivering the hate speeches.
The Supreme Court in its order directed the Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand police to take Suo Motu cognizance action against any instance of hate speech in the State without waiting for a complaint to be filed.
The Supreme Court also made it clear that if there is a lack of action by the police and authorities, it will result in contempt of court against the concerned authority or person.
The Supreme Court also sought action taken report from Delhi police on alleged hate speeches made by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Member of Parliament, Parvesh Verma and others in Delhi on October 9 against Muslim community.
Sibal argued that we have filed many complaints. This Court or administration never takes action! Always status reports. These people are participating in events on daily basis.
"The Administration does nothing. We keep coming to Court," Sibal pleaded for action.
While reading the alleged speeches of Varma, the Court read, "If need be, we will slit their throats", (Bench reads). It said, it is very sad and tragic.
Sibal said, Yes, him and team. He is an MP of the party (BJP).
"We need an SIT (Special Investigation Team) to make sure that it doesn't get repeated," Sibal pleaded to the Supreme Court.
UNI SM SHK2105。 Sophie 编译 本周末，来自28个国家的500多名佛教僧侣和代表将齐聚奥克兰，参加全球佛教峰会，探讨古老仪式与环保主义之间的冲突问题。
世界佛教僧伽会（WBSC）第十一届大会将集中讨论如何在佛教信仰中应对环境恢复和气候挑战。

WBSC是一个国际非政府组织，成立于1966年，成员遍布亚洲、大洋洲、英国和美国，旨在促进世界各地不同传统的佛教宗教和寺院社区的交流。
在奥克兰举行的会议将是该组织迄今为止规模最大的全球会议，也是第一次在亚洲以外的地方举行。
讨论的议题之一将是古老的“放生”仪式——将活着的生物放归自然——是否应该被禁止。
WBSC秘书长释慧雄（Shi Hui Siong）法师表示，放生动物的做法可以追溯到佛陀称赞一位僧人放生困在陷阱的动物，以及他对所有生灵表达慈悲的教诲。
但是，今天许多人——包括新西兰人——可能会造成更多伤害而不是帮助。
据报道，在奥克兰，佛教徒曾将乌龟放生到Western Springs，将非本地鱼类放生到沿海水域。
二 | “最初的做法是把被困的动物放回它们本来的自然环境中，而不是说把它们放生到会对生态系统造成破坏的地方。” “我们需要强调的是，这不是佛教所倡导的。” 慧雄法师来自新加坡，他表示，WBSC支持新加坡政府取缔在当地进行的放生被困动物的宗教做法。
三 | 他将在这次为期两天的活动中向聚集在这里的僧侣和代表们发表演讲。
四 | 以“回归自然，和谐共生”为主题的峰会将于周日在Bombay Hills的观音山道场（Quan Am Buddhist Monastery）开幕，然后周一在Pakuranga Heights的法聚寺（Oneness Buddhist Temple）继续举行。 慧雄法师说，此次大会将寻求在面对全球挑战时找到集体解决方案，并将向公众开放。 “这是一个机会，让我们探索共同的责任，应对紧迫的全球挑战，并寻求促进人类与环境之间共生关系的方法。
五 | ” 他表示，人文主义佛教鼓励环保活动，这次会议将为佛教徒和非佛教徒合作应对环境挑战提供一个平台。
六 | 奥克兰法聚寺的Yi Shuen师太说，这个会议召开得很及时。 “在全球冲突不断升级和气候变化持续影响的背景下，这次大会极具意义。” 注：本文为编译/原创，欢迎转发分享；但严禁复制等未经授权的非法使用。违反上述声明者，本网将追究其相关法律责任。
