The Delhi High Court has characterized tweets made by journalist Rana Ayyub between 2013 and 2017 as 'highly derogatory, inflammatory, and communal'. This ruling came during a hearing of a petition filed by Amita Sachdeva, a practicing advocate, who requested the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and social media platform X Corp to remove or restrict access to these tweets. Justice Purushaindra Kaurav emphasized the urgency of the matter, noting that the tweets had led to an FIR being registered against Ayyub by a competent court. The court has ordered that all involved parties, including Delhi Police, MeitY, and X Corp, collaborate to address the issue by the next hearing scheduled for April 10. The controversy began when Sachdeva alleged that Ayyub's tweets demeaned Hindu figures and glorified others, prompting her to seek legal recourse after no action was taken by the police on her initial complaint. The case raises significant questions about the balance between freedom of expression and communal harmony in India.
