NEW DELHI: Hate attacks and incidents of regional chauvinism can be tackled if there is a political will, the Supreme Court said on Tuesday while agreeing to hear on Monday a PIL linked to the alleged violence perpetrated by Raj Thackeray’s MNS party in Maharashtra.

More than a court matter it is a political issue which needs political will to tackle it, the court observed when the petitioner pointed to Mumbai violence and its repercussions in Bihar and Delhi.

“Can it be done through an order of this court. It is a political question not a court issue. If there is a political will it can be tackled,” a bench of Justices B N Aggrawal and G S Singhvi observed.
