Supreme Court to Hear Plea Against Video Allegedly Demonizing Muslims
Imagine someone made a video that says bad things about a group of people, making others dislike them.
This video was shared on a social media site called X by a political group in Assam, India.
The video shows scary pictures of Muslim people in charge of places if a certain political party isn't in power.
People who saw the video think it's unfair and could make others angry at Muslims.
So, someone asked the highest court in India, the Supreme Court, to make the video be taken down.
The court said they would listen to this request on November 25.
They want to decide if the video is harmful and should be removed to stop people from being mean to each other.
The Supreme Court will hear a plea on November 25 concerning a video that allegedly demonizes Muslims.
The video was posted on the social media platform X by the 'BJP Assam Pradesh' handle.
The applicant argues the video falsely depicts Muslims taking over Assam if the BJP is not in power, promoting communal disharmony.
The plea seeks directions for X and BJP Assam Pradesh to remove the video due to its alleged harmful content and widespread sharing.
The Supreme Court had previously issued notice on the application on October 7.
