On the other hand, a new petition has been filed in the Supreme Court on Thursday. In this petition, Youth Congress President BV Srinivas and a journalism student have called the right to practice religion a fundamental right in the Constitution. It has been said in the petition that this is a direct violation of fundamental rights and also such incidents are happening in many states, so it would be better for the top court to take cognizance of it.
