The BJP had subsequently suspended her from the party.Ramesh said the Supreme Court has held a mirror to this government and called out the "base ugliness" of its actions."It is no secret that the BJP seeks to profit from inflaming communal passions. Today, the Supreme Court has strengthened the resolve in every single one of us who are fighting these destructively divisive ideologies," the Congress leader.Ramesh said the Indian National Congress will never cease its fight against "polarising anti-national forces" of all types which plunge the nation into chaos for political gains and let all Indian citizens bear the consequences of their "perverse actions".He noted the bench also called her out for her "arrogant, obstinate conduct and the perfunctory nature of her apology"."Notably, the SC asked her counsel if she faces threat, or she has given a (security) threat to the nation? The court even highlighted the deferential treatment being meted out to the BJP spokesperson by police authorities and asking if a “red carpet” was being rolled out for her," he said.
