No Contempt of Court in Satire, AG Wrong to Target Kunal Kamra, Rachita Taneja: Mukul Rohatgi
In a rare instance of a predecessor criticising his successor, former Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi said that the present Attorney General K.K. Venugopal made a mistake when he granted permission for comedian Kunal Kamra to be prosecuted for contempt for his tweets. Venugopal, he said, made a second mistake when he subsequently gave permission for the cartoonist Rachita Taneja to be tried for contempt for her cartoons.
