Bengaluru Court Restrains Kamal Haasan from Speaking on Kannada Until Next Hearing
A Bengaluru court has issued a gag order against actor-politician Kamal Haasan, prohibiting him from making any public statements related to the Kannada language until the next scheduled hearing. The interim order comes in response to a petition filed over Haasan’s recent remarks, which reportedly sparked controversy across Karnataka.
The court stated that Haasan's comments could potentially incite linguistic tensions and disrupt public harmony. In light of the sensitive nature of language issues in the region, the judiciary emphasized the need for restraint until the matter is fully reviewed.
Background of the Controversy
Kamal Haasan, known for his outspoken views, had allegedly made a statement regarding the status and usage of Kannada in a recent public event. The remarks drew criticism from several Kannada organizations and political figures, who accused him of being disrespectful toward the language.
Following the backlash, a formal complaint was filed seeking legal action and restrictions on further commentary.
Court’s Interim Decision
In its interim ruling, the court noted the possibility of social unrest stemming from public figures making statements on regional linguistic issues. The judge, therefore, directed Haasan to refrain from speaking or posting about Kannada in any form until the matter is further deliberated.
The next hearing has been scheduled within the coming weeks. Legal experts suggest that the gag order is a preventive measure aimed at preserving peace and avoiding escalation during the legal process.
