In response to Justice Sundresh labeling the petitioner’s plea misconceived, senior lawyer Pinky Anand, representing the petitioner, reportedly said: Please take note of the setting when the documentary took place. The UK is currently in a position where an Indian serves as Prime Minister. India is becoming a stronger economic force.
The court requested the government to provide a record of its decision to remove tweets containing links to the movies after hearing two further petitions on this subject last week, including one submitted by Trinamool MP Mahua Moitra, journalist N Ram, and attorney Prashant Bhushan. The matter was scheduled for April after the government was allowed three weeks to do so. What do you think about this share your views in the comments below
