SC directs Maharashtra Assembly not to take any coercive steps against Shobha De
The Supreme Court on Wednesday directed the Maharashtra Assembly not to take any coercive steps against Shobha De over her tweet criticizing a state government order on Marathi films.
Earlier, the notice had been issued after a Shiv Sena lawmaker Pratap Sarnik demanded a privilege motion against Shobha De and an apology.
After a petition by author Shobhaa De, a notice of privilege sent to her was put on hold by Supreme Court.
