New Delhi, Aug 3 A retired Air Force officer moved the Supreme Court on Monday seeking an urgent hearing on his plea seeking action against the organisers of the July 20 'Sansad Chalo' march for allegedly inciting violence.
The petition was mentioned for urgent hearing before a bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana by a lawyer appearing for the officer.
The bench agreed to list the matter for hearing this week.
The counsel appearing for the officer submitted that the organisers of the protest are still "fanning the fire" even though the government has been very generous.
"The organisers are making reckless statements and creating acrimony in society. The accountability of the organisers should also be fixed," the lawyer submitted.
The petition has also sought a uniform national policy regarding arrests and registration of FIRs in connection with the aftermath of the July 20 protest.
Thousands of protesters, mostly youngsters, converged in central Delhi on July 20 and were met by police teargas and lathi-charge as they tried to scale barricades to march to Parliament, demanding the resignation of then Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET paper leak issue.
