New Delhi: The Supreme Court Thursday directed comedian Samay Raina, podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia and other performers to organise at least two fundraisers each month...
Concerned over jokes on social media ridiculing people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, SC says it may direct the government to frame guidelines for all media platforms.
Popular as 'The Rebel Kid', Mukhija's remarks on Samay Raina’s YouTube show ‘India’s Got Latent’ with podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia triggered social media outrage and led to multiple FIRs.
The court also allowed Ranveer Allahbadia—popularly known as ‘BeerBiceps’—to resume his podcast ‘The Ranveer Show’ provided the content did not breach standards of morality, decency.
Protection is subject to Allahbadia joining probe & staying away from 'India’s Got Latent'. SC asked his counsel how obscenity would be defined in a society following 'self-evolved values'.
Apart from tarnishing his image, Ranveer Allahbadia’s remarks have brought the spotlight back on the intersection of humour, vulgarity, and the call to criminalise such actions.
In tactical terms, the shirtless protest was worse than a self-goal. Suddenly, the fiascos of the AI Summit were forgotten, and the Youth Congress’s disruption became the issue.
IAF is fine with accepting the aircraft with 'must-haves', even if some other steps remain pending, which may take at least another year, it is learnt.
