There have been so many unlawful incidents happened in the recent past that expressed their outrage at some levels. One recent episode that attracted so much outrage was an advertisement of a famous jewelry brand.
And then we all witnessed how a TV quiz show was questioned. All these incidents reflect some sort of anguish from the people of this country, especially on social media.
If any OTT platform is delibrately insulting the Hindu Gods & Goddess, pls file the complaint with the police or local court under Section 295A of IPC. The law will take care of such offenders.
