The high court, considering “the evil consequences” that are
likely to occur on the telecast or broadcast of the film in question, has
deferred the telecast pending consideration of the petition, Al Jazeera
reported.
In addition to the ban, the court issued a judicial order
instructing the government to implement necessary measures to prevent the
publication of the documentary without prior examination by the authorities and
obtaining the required authorization for its broadcast.
A hearing for the case has been scheduled for July 6,
providing an opportunity for further legal deliberation.
The documentary, which originally aired on June 2, is part
of the investigative series "Zero Distance" that sheds light on the
plight of Muslims in India.
Through gripping testimonies from victims of the Muslim
minority in India, the film exposes clandestine plots by a Hindu organization
targeting Muslims across various regions of the country.
Led by journalist Salam Hindawi, the program's team gained
access to highly volatile Indian states plagued by violence and persecution
against Muslims.
Moreover, the documentary unveils official documents that
have never been made public before, revealing the existence of Hindu extremist
camps with the intent of targeting Muslims.
