Allahabad HC stops Al Jazeera from telecasting India….Who lit the Fuse?

The Allahabad High Court on Wednesday restrained Al Jazeera Media Network Private Ltd from telecasting the film “India….Who lit the Fuse?” in the country, considering the “seriousness” of allegations made in a PIL against the movie.

Al Jazeera is a news channel based in Doha, Qatar.

A bench comprising Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra and Justice Ashutosh Srivastava passed the order on the public interest litigation (PIL) filed by one Sudhir Kumar who argued that the film, if released/broadcast, is likely to create hatred amongst different religious denominations and thereby destroy the secular fabric of India.
