Plea in SC for early hearing on removing protesting farmers

Description

DELHI: A day after a man’s body with a hand chopped off was found at the farmers’ protest site at the Singhu border, a plea has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking an urgent hearing of a pending petition which has sought removal of protestors. Referring to the incident, a fresh plea has been filed for urgent hearing of the PIL, pending since March this year, saying “The right to freedom of speech and expression cannot supersede the right to life and if this protest is allowed to go in like this, the nation at large will be at a loss.”
