Supreme Court On Kanwar Yatra | "Cops Can't Force...": SC Pauses Kanwar Yatra Food Stalls Order

The Supreme Court has stayed, till Friday, a controversial Uttar Pradesh government order directing eateries along the Kanwar Yatra route to display names of owners and employees "to ensure... no confusion..." The order had been slammed by the opposition; AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi - who has claimed this move is to ensure no 'kanwariya (pilgrim) buys from a Muslim-owned shop - had compared it to Apartheid in South Africa and the boycotting of Jewish business in Nazi Germany.

The court, directing the UP government order be paused, referred to the "... implication of directives" and served notice to the UP, Uttarakhand, and Madhya Pradesh governments. Crucially, it also noted "... the threat of police action in the event of non-adherence to the directives..."
