The recent pulling down of advertisements, targeting of a film set, arresting those supporting a different cricket team, rape threats to an infant all point to the culture of intolerance that has now spread deep into our society.
"There are real-life situations which show that there is a great divergence between ideals of the law and the real state of the society today," the Supreme Court judge, speaking at an event, added.
Narottam Mishra said that if the "objectionable and obscene advertisement" is not withdrawn withdrawn in 24 hours, action would be taken against the jeweller. The ad has now been withdrawn.
Supreme Court judge, Justice D.Y. Chandrachud on Saturday said the Karva Chauth advertisement featuring a same sex couple, which was yanked off following outrage from a section, was pulled down "on the ground of public intolerance".
Supreme Court judge DY Chandrachud has expressed anguish over the withdrawal of a Karva Chauth advertisement featuring a same-sex couple due to “public intolerance”, saying there is a need to change the mindset of both men and women. The judge was referring to the advertisement of Dabur on Karva Chauth.
