Some of India's best media columnists and political analysts who often tear apart Modi's fakery through their words are exactly the ones who have helped propping up/defend Modi by their false equivalences with what Nehru or Indira did. For eg this column indianexpress.com/article/opinio…
I do not think a stalwart like Pratap Bhanu Mehta can possibly be naïve enough to think Parliament is the right place to address issues of free speech and hate speech. No Sire, not anymore in Sep 2020. Parliament is no longer a place for democracy's survival. Can't you see sir?
If #SudarshanTV case would have emerged in early period of Modi rule, and if Center would have immediately showed intentions to tackle hate speech even if of their own supporters or members, then of course this column would have made sense. But today home remedy won't do.

#SudarshanTV matter gets adjourned for tomorrow for detailed arguments.

The channel will principally argue on lifting the injunction order against telecast of its show.
While adjourning the matter, SC observes channels use air waves, which is a public property & hence liable to restrictions under Article 19 (2).

Press Council of India agrees with this view, saying use of air waves makes broadcasters complete liable.
The petitioner's lawyer Anoop G Chaudhary submits he wants to press for a contempt against #SudarshanNews editor @SureshChavhanke for a "contemptuous" tweet against this court.

Chandrachud J: If he has said something silly, we will ignore it.
