Modi-Trump cartoon, Madras HC orders Indian govt to lift ban on Vikatan

The Madras High Court, on Thursday, March 6, ordered the Union government to lift the ban imposed on Vikatan, a Tamil-language weekly magazine, whose website was blocked after it posted a cartoon showing Prime Minister Narendra Modi in chains with the United States President Donald Trump



sitting besides him.

The cartoon was published on February 10 on Vikatan’s website and social media accounts soon after the Indian prime minister’s first visit to Trump after the latter became the President of the United States for the second time in January.
