Amazon Prime gets SC Notice after complaint that web series #Mirzapur maligns image of UP. It's ironic that SC has time for frivolous cases like this & not to address the unconstitutional jailing of #SiddiqueKappan by the @myogiadityanath govt! Troubling priorities of the SC!

Unnecessary #Tandav over #Mirzapur now exposing the collective intolerance of a nation. How can art be regulated? Defeats the purpose.
