No decency in news, opinions nowadays: Madras HC on oped remarks on Periyar

There is no decency in expressing news and opinions nowadays, the Madras High Court orally observed on Monday while hearing a petition by journalist and earshot co-founder Abhijit Majumder, LiveLaw reported. Majumder had moved the court against an FIR filed against him in Tamil Nadu over an opinion piece criticising Tamil Nadu minister Udayanidhi Stalin’s Sanatana Dharma remark.

Majumder had called Periyar “an intellectual thug who did not just marry his own adopted daughter 40 years younger, but reportedly incited local goons to sexually harass his wife to stop her from visiting a temple.”
