JOIN USDutch MP, Bollywood comes in support for Nupur Sharma
From the Dutch Prime Minister to Indian celebrities on Saturday expressed solidarity with the suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma after the Supreme Court slammed her for her remarks on Prophet Mohammed.
The SC on Friday had said that Nupur Sharma "set the country on fire" with her profane remarks about the Prophet Muhammad. The court used harsh remarks while declaring that she must apologise to the nation. She was accused of damaging the social fabric and also blamed as the sole reason behind the brutal Udaipur tailor murder.
Soon, Dutch MP Geert Wilders, a far-right politician, backed Nupur Sharma and said in a tweet “She should never apologize for speaking the truth about #Muhammad”
I thought India had no sharia courts.

She should never apologize for speaking the truth about #Muhammad. She is not responsible for Udaipur. Radical intolerant jihadi Muslims are responsible and nobody else.
NupurSharma is a hero. #NupurSharma #IsupportNupurSharma
Wilders has previously come to Nupur Sharma’s aide through tweets expressing support.
"It is ridiculous that Arab and Islamic countries are angered by Indian politician #NupurSharma @NupurSharmaBJP for speaking the truth about #ProphetMuhammad who indeed married Aisha when she was six years old and consumed the marriage when she was nine. Why does India apologize?" he tweeted on June 6.

Our civilisation has always suffered because of the wrong judgements we made. Starting from Gandhi’s open support to Khilafat Movement. https://t.co/8pB1wu8KDq

But blaming only #NupurSharma is a cop out- We all know the leaders who started it, fanned it, won elections off it & the ecosystem that kept it alive.

Author Shefali Vaidya chimed her support by saying “So the highest court in the country basically doesn’t care that an Indian citizen, #NupurSharma has received multiple credible death threats. They are trampling all over the fundamental right to life. Unbelievable.”

Filmmaker Ashoke Pandit said in his tweet:
Sadly it’s the same Supreme Court which refused to accept that the #KashmiriPandits suffered the genocide and ethnic cleansing by rejecting our plea.

Today it blames #NupurSharma for the barbaric killings of #Hindus in the country.
