Stopping hate on Television is also essential for law and order: SC

The Supreme Court said stopping hate on television was as essential for law and order as arming policemen with lathis and putting up barricades to prevent the spread of violence and riots.
Control over certain kind of news which agitate people to violence and riots is a law and order problem.
Preventing it is as powerful as putting up barricades. Preventing instigation is as important as providing lathis to policemen.
The CJI referred to how the government had shut down Internet facility on January 26 amid violence during the farmers’ tractor rally.
“You shut down the internet mobile facility because of the farmers’ visit to Delhi,” Chief Justice Bobde remarked.
The CJI said the court, by government control, did not mean to curb free speech on TV.
