She alleged that such audacity stems from a culture where mob lynchers are garlanded, rapists are pardoned, and hate-mongers are honored, while dissenters like Umar Khalid face imprisonment.

Mufti emphasized that the judiciary faces not just a legal question but an existential one. She questioned whether the judiciary would rise to protect the Constitution or remain silent in the face of such affronts.Also Read: ₹1.20 Lakh Crore Defence Weaponry Procurement Plan: Rajnath Singh..!
