The Supreme Court of India quashed an FIR against Congress MP Imran Pratapgarhi, ruling that satire and art “make life more meaningful.” Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan emphasized protecting free speech, stating, “Even if many dislike a view, it must be protected.” The ruling coincides with the Kunal Kamra controversy, where Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde’s supporters vandalized a Mumbai venue over his satire. Kamra mocked Maharashtra’s political shifts, calling them confusing for voters. The court reaffirmed that literature, drama, and films enrich public discourse and must be safeguarded.
