A day after the Supreme Court came down heavily on suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma for her controversial remarks on Prophet Muhammad, Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on Saturday said he will discuss the issue at an appropriate platform.

Speaking to ANI in Hyderabad, where he was attending the BJP national executive meeting, Mr Rijiju said, "First of all, as a Law Minister, it is not proper for me to comment on the judgment as well as the observation made by the Supreme Court bench."

"Even if I do not like the judgment or I have a serious objection to the manner in which the observations are made, I would not like to comment," stated the minister.
