Mumbai: The controversy surrounding YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia's remarks on a show has caught the attention of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Addressing the issue, Fadnavis stated, "I have come to know about it. I have not seen it yet. Things have been said and presented in a wrong way. Everyone has freedom of speech but our freedom ends when we encroach upon the freedom of others."
Fadnavis highlighted the importance of balancing freedom of speech with respect for others' rights. He added, "In our society, we have made some rules, if someone violates them it is absolutely wrong and action should be taken against them."
The controversy began when Allahbadia made remarks on a show that were perceived as offensive by many viewers. The comments led to widespread outrage on social media and prompted formal complaints and a police investigation.
In response to the backlash, Allahbadia issued a public apology, acknowledging his mistake and committing to being more responsible with his platform. He also requested the show's makers to remove the offensive segment.
Fadnavis's statement underscores the need to respect societal norms and the boundaries of free speech, while also addressing the consequences of violating these principles.
