"Be Patriots" : Bombay High Court dismisses petition filed by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) challenging the Mumbai Police’s refusal to grant permission for a protest at Azad Maidan against the alleged genocide in Gaza, citing India's foreign policy stance.
A bench of Justices Ravindra Ghuge and Gautam Ankhad, while rejecting the petition, observed that instead of focusing on issues thousands of miles away, the party should concentrate on problems affecting India.
“Our country has enough issues... We don't want anything like this. I’m sorry to say, you are all short-sighted. You are looking at issues in Gaza and Palestine. Look at your own country. Be patriots. This is not patriotism. People say they are patriots...,” the court remarked during the hearing.
