In a powerful move, the Supreme Court on Thursday asked the Centre to think about making a tough new law. This law would punish anyone who insults or makes fun of persons with disabilities (PwDs) or people with rare medical conditions. The Court said this law could be like the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, which protects certain vulnerable groups. Chief Justice Surya Kant asked Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, "Why don’t you bring some stringent legislation against insulting specially-abled persons, on the lines of the SC/ST Atrocities Act?" The Court was especially worried about the increase in online abuse faced by disabled people. This came during a hearing of a petition by the SMA Cure Foundation, which fights for people affected by Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a rare disorder. The foundation spoke against hurtful remarks made by YouTube host Samay Raina and other social media influencers about persons with disabilities. Senior advocate Aparajita Singh represented the foundation. Though the Supreme Court did not punish Samay Raina or the others, it reminded them that they have a duty to society. Using their huge online fame, the Court asked them to help raise funds for the treatment of people with disabilities, especially those suffering from SMA. As a creative social penalty for their previous insensitive jokes, the Court told these influencers to feature at least two shows or programs every month sharing inspiring success stories of specially-abled persons. They should invite these heroes to their platforms and highlight their achievements until the next hearing. This colorful and heartfelt approach by the Supreme Court hopes to turn the power of social media yayayers into champions for kindness and support for disabled persons across India.
