Hyderabad: Andhra
Pradesh High Court Wednesday dismissed a petition seeking
directions to YouTube to remove controversial speeches of
Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) leader Akbaruddin Owaisi from
the popular website.
A division bench comprising Sanjay Kumar and L. Narasimha Reddy
said the court cannot interfere as the matter relates to freedom
of expression. The court advised the petitioner to move the
YouTube office in New York, if he had any objection to the site's
content.
J.V.S. Rama Rao, an advocate, had filed the petition. He claimed
that the circulation of the alleged hate speeches over YouTube
might create law and order problems.
The petitioner said the speeches were highly inflammatory and hurt
the sentiments of the Hindu community.
Akbaruddin Owaisi, a member of the Andhra Pradesh assembly, was
arrested Tuesday by the police for having made hate speeches at
Nirmal town in Adilabad district.
A court in Nirmal sent him to judicial custody for 14 days.
