While granting adjournment, Justice Sreedharan recorded a prima facie view questioning the NHRC\u2019s jurisdiction and made broader observations on its functioning.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>VHP president <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/alok-kumar\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">Alok Kumar<\/a> said the remarks were made \u201cin the absence of arguments\u201d and went beyond the scope of the case, describing them as unwarranted commentary on the NHRC. He also pointed to the dissent recorded by co-judge Justice Vivek Saran, who stated that he differed from the order dictated by Justice Sreedharan, indicating a split within the bench.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>VHP said it condemns all forms of violence, including lynching, \u201cirrespective of religion,\u201d but objected to what it called a selective portrayal of such incidents as targeting a particular community. \u201cCriminals do not belong to any religion,\u201d Kumar said, adding that such remarks are inaccurate and socially divisive.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>The organisation cautioned that observations on sensitive communal issues, especially when not central to the case, could undermine institutional credibility.
