SC COMES TO AID OF ANOTHER HINDUPHOBE, PROTECTS LEENA MANIMEKALAI FROM ARREST OVER SACRILEGIOUS MAA KALI POSTER
The Supreme Court on Friday granted interim protection from arrest to filmmaker Leena Manimekalai in multiple FIRs lodged against her for depicting Hindu goddess Kaali smoking a cigarette in a poster of her documentary. A bench of Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and P.S. Narasimha said: “At this stage, prima facie, it appears that the institution of FIRs in multiple states would be a matter of serious prejudice to the petitioner. We are inclined to issue notice so that all the FIRs shall be consolidated in one and the same place in accordance with law.”
