Asking what it could do if people were "feeling so sensitive", the Delhi High Court dismissed a petition to stop the publication, circulation and sale of Congress leader Salman Khurshid's book "Sunrise Over Ayodhya: Nationhood In Our Times".

The court was hearing a plea by lawyer Vineet Jindal who claimed the book by the former Union minister "impinges upon the faith of others" as it compares Hindutva to radical groups like ISIS and Boko Haram. "Ask people not to buy the book or read it. Tell people it is badly authored, read something better," said Justice Yashwant Varma.
