Fadnavis wants stricter social media rules following Allahbadia case.
Mumbai: The recent incident involving YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia has caught the attention of the nation, with the Supreme Court stepping in to address the matter. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has also weighed in on the issue, warning that obscenity will not be tolerated under the guise of freedom of speech.

Fadnavis commended the Supreme Court's strong stance on the matter, stating that everyone has the right to freedom of speech, but it cannot be used to infringe upon someone else's freedom. He emphasized that obscenity is not a form of free speech and those who engage in it must face consequences.

The chief minister also raised concerns about the challenges of identifying culprits in the age of social media. He pointed out that the geographical jurisdiction of crimes has been diminished due to the reach of social media platforms. As a result, the state government is working with the central government to draft new laws that will define the geographical jurisdiction of social media.

In the wake of these developments, the Supreme Court has instructed Allahbadia to cooperate with the probe and deposit his passport with Thane Police. However, he has been assured that he will not be arrested by Maharashtra or Assam Police as long as he follows the court's instructions.

Meanwhile, amidst the success of Vicky Kaushal's film Chhaava, the Maharashtra government has taken note of objectionable content on Wikipedia regarding Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the second ruler of the Maratha Empire. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has ordered the IG Cyber ​​to take action and remove the controversial content from Wikipedia.

NCP-SP Amol Kolhe, who has portrayed the role of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj in various works, expressed his disappointment over the continuous attempts to defame the historical figure. He called for the government to take swift action in addressing this issue and respecting the sentiments of the people. He also highlighted the need for the government to prevent such incidents from recurring in the future.

Overall, these recent events have shed light on the importance of responsible use of freedom of speech and the government's responsibility to protect the dignity and honor of historical figures.
