Today, On 18th December, During hearing on Alt-News Co-founder Mohammed Zubair’s plea, the Allahabad High Court stated, “Whatever Yati Narsinghanand says, you cannot go to social media.” Zubair is challenging an FIR that accuses him of promoting enmity through a post on ‘X.’ The court highlighted the importance of addressing grievances through legal avenues instead of social media. The case focuses on finding a balance between free speech and its potential misuse in inciting public unrest.
A petition in the Allahabad High Court seeks to restrain Yati Narsinghanand from making derogatory comments about Prophet Muhammad and the Quran, requesting the removal of his “hate speech” from social media. The petitioners argue that his actions jeopardize societal stability and call for legal action against him due to his history of hate speech.
