The Supreme Court of India on Tuesday said that political leaders must promote fraternity in the country, even as it declined to hear a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking guidelines on political speeches. A bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, along with Justices B V Nagarathna and Joymalya Bagchi, asked the 12 petitioners to withdraw their plea and file a fresh, more neutral petition if they wished to pursue the matter.

The petition was moved in the backdrop of alleged hate speeches by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. A day earlier, another bench …
