Sardar Jokes

The Supreme Court today expressed its inability to issue directions to regulate jokes about the Sikh community, observing courts cannot "lay down moral guidelines" for citizens and doubting their enforceability if they were to do so.

Websites that run jokes taking potshots at members of the Sikh community should be banned, a petitioner has asked the Supreme Court.

He also retweeted several tweets which suggested the fixing angle: "this game is a joke especially when u see hafeez play a lap sweep with a leg slip in place" and "It must be India's 12th Man.....the Bookmaker!"
