The Supreme Court slammed Nupur Sharma for her Prophet remarks, not entertaining her plea to club FIRs against her in different states with the one in Delhi. The Supreme came down heavily on the suspended BJP spokesperson, saying she has a “loose tongue” and is “single-handedly responsible for what is happening in the country,” including in Udaipur, where a Tailor was hacked to death for allegedly sharing her remarks. Stating that Sharma should have “apologized to the nation,” the vacation bench of Justices Surya Kant and JB Pardi Wala pulled her up for approaching the Supreme Court directly.
The BJP suspended Nupur Sharma after a host of Arab countries raised objections to her remarks against the Prophet.

Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray announced his resignation on June 29. This came minutes after the Supreme Court refused to stay the governor-ordered floor test in the assembly.
Thackeray also quit his membership in the legislative council. Before announcing his resignation, Thackeray chaired his final cabinet meeting as the chief minister. The nod was given to renaming Aurangabad as Sambhaji Nagar and Osmanabad as Dharashiv- both were long-pending demands of the Shiv Sena. As Thackeray announced his resignation, celebrations erupted in the BJP camp. The political crisis in Maharashtra erupted on June 20 after more than a dozen legislators of the Shiv Sena moved to Surat in the BJP-ruled Gujarat and turned incommunicado.
