A proposito di questo titolo
A Delhi court dismissed a revision petition from Kapil Mishra, a BJP leader and Delhi's Law and Justice Minister, regarding a case under the Representation of the People Act. The court found that Mishra strategically used the term "Pakistan" in his statements to incite hatred and communal polarisation for electoral gain in 2020. Specifically, his remarks about "mini-Pakistans" in Delhi and an "India vs Pakistan" contest on election day were deemed attempts to promote enmity based on religion. The court asserted that the implicit reference to a particular religious community was easily understood as an attempt to generate conflict. Mishra's lawyer argued that his statements referred to a country, not a group of people. However, the judge rejected this argument, asserting that the implication was clear.
