Hate speech case: If said with smile, no criminality, says Delhi HC Sofi Ahsan March 26, 2022 https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/delhi/hate-speech-case-if-said-with-smile-no-criminality-says-hc-7836774/

It added that otherwise thousands of FIRs may be lodged against all politicians during elections: “If you’re saying something with a smile then there is no criminality, if you’re saying something offensively then criminality. You have to check and balance. Otherwise, I think 1,000 FIRs may be lodged against all politicians during elections.”
“Because we are also in democratic … you also have the right to speech and all these things.

No one was harmed in the making of this video. At least until now. Our question is- how does a fictional show end up hurting religious sentiments so much? But anyway, if God has specifically appointed some people to safeguard religious interests, we can't help it, right?
