Sanatana Dharma protectors cannot use unsavoury words on social media platforms: Madras High Court

A person who claims to be a ‘Rakshak (protector) of Santana Dharma’ should not use unsavoury words such as Vesi, which refers to sex workers, on social media platforms, the Madras High Court has said while asking an individual, Rangarajan Narasimhan of Srirangam to detox himself from social media for a period of at least two weeks.

Justices J. Nisha Banu and N. Mala made the observation while passing orders on a contempt of court petition filed against him by industrialist Venu Srinivasan. The judges said, they had analysed two tweets, one against the industrialist and another regarding an apology tendered by Narasimhan during earlier contempt proceedings.
