The Hindu · india

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta's comment that 'law-making cannot be as per Naxalites’ idea' during a Supreme Court hearing on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, ignited a heated debate. The plea challenged penal protection for Vande Mataram. Senior advocates S. Muralidhar and Sanjay Hegde strongly objected, calling the remarks offensive and unnecessary. Mehta clarified he meant law-making follows the Constitution, not Naxalite ideology.
