theres a hate speech law for a name?!
The law says nothing about a name. The BJP had so completely captured the judiciary that they were able to get that decision on utter bullshyt.
Also, the maximum penalty was two years, and the max sentence had never been used before for this law......yet the judge in the case gave him the full max of two years for an off-hand JOKE. It just so happens, if you're sentenced to at least 2 years in jail then you automatically lose your seat in Parliament. So making one joke about Modi got the leader of the opposition kicked out of Parliament because the judge interpreted the law in a way it had never been used before AND dictated a sentence length that had never been used before.
