YouTube Description
as posted by the channelKamal Nath, the former chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, has been charged with inciting fear and spreading false information about the coronavirus pandemic after saying at a press conference that the world knew the B.1.617 strain, which was first discovered in India, as the "Indian variant." The former CM was charged under the Indian Penal Code's section 188 (disobedience to a lawfully promulgated public servant's order) and the National Disaster Management Act 2005's section 54 (making or circulating a false alarm or alert as to disaster, its seriousness or extent, causing panic). The police action against Nath follows the Centre's request on May 21 for social media companies to delete any material on their platforms that discussed or referred to the word "Indian version" of coronavirus in order to prevent the spread of misinformation about COVID-19.
