Supreme Court Stops Name Display Rule for Eateries: Rajeev Shukla and Akhilesh Yadav React
New Delhi, India – The Supreme Court has temporarily stopped a rule that required eateries along the Kanwar Yatra route to display the names of their owners. Congress leader Rajeev Shukla praised the decision, saying it will promote harmony and end unnecessary political controversy.
Speaking about the verdict, Rajeev Shukla said, “I think this is a very correct decision by the Supreme Court. This will send a far-reaching message. The harmony and social unity in the country will prevail and this unnecessary controversy that was stoked for political gain will end. I would like to thank the Supreme Court that it has taken a good decision.”
The Supreme Court’s bench, including Justices Hrishikesh Roy and SVN Bhatti, issued notices to the states of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Madhya Pradesh. The bench stated that state police cannot force shopkeepers to display their names but can only ask them to display the food items they are selling. The matter will be heard again on July 26.
Samajwadi Party MP Akhilesh Yadav also commented on the verdict, using a metaphor to describe the end of communal politics. He said, “Just like a diya flutters before being blown out, the communal politics that has ended, its diya is now fluttering and so the hearing is being held. The government has taken many such steps because when communal politics ends, these people will do like this…” He added that the Bharatiya Janata Party is saddened by the end of communal politics.
