Indian comedian Samay Raina, along with the other three comedians, has been ordered to perform monthly fundraising shows on their platforms for specially abled individuals with inspiring stories. The decision stemmed from a scandal involving statements made by Raina, Vipul Goyal, Sonali Thakkar, Nishant Jagdish Tanwar, and Balraj Paramjeet Singh Ghai on their previously-famous show, India’s Got Latent.
The court ordered the fundraising events to be halted at least once, stating that it expects the content crestore to provide until the next hearing. “We hope and expect that only a few notable occurrences will occur before we hear the matter again. We are placing a social, not a criminal, burden on you, comedians. You are all in a good position within society.”
In the statement outlining the ruling, CJI Kant stated, “If you have become too popular, then share it with others.” Additionally, they were asked to highlight a variety of patients with disabilities and actively encourage funding in order to start providing timely medical assistance to individuals in need. In the past, the Cure SMA Foundation sought a lawsuit to stop the material creators from making what it called a “insensitive remark.”
Raina had mentioned the one-time expense of gene therapy in her remarks regarding the high cost of the treatment. Zolgensma. He removed the videos from his YouTube channel after several steps were taken against him.
According to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, “spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic disease affecting the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, and voluntary muscle movement (skeletal muscle).” The illness, which is brought on by a mutation in gene 1 (SMN1), weakens and eventually wastes away some of the body’s muscles.
