These Young, Oversmart Ones Think…”: Top Court Blasts Comic Samay Raina

New Delhi:

The Supreme Court on Monday blasted Comedian Samay Raina for speaking about the controversy surrounding his show ‘India’s Got Latent’ in Canada, saying the young generation thinks they are “oversmart”. The top court was hearing a petition of Podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, who sparked a huge uproar last month by making crass remarks on Raina’s show.

“These young and oversmart ones think they know more than this…One of them went to Canada and spoke about all this,” Justice Surya Kant said.

To this, Solicitor General of India Tushar Mehta said, “Yes, he (referring to Raina) went abroad and made fun of this proceeding.”

“Possibly, they do not know the jurisdiction which this court enjoys,” Justice Surya Kant added, warning the Youtubers to “behave”.

“Behave, or else we know how to deal with you,” he said.

Raina, who was on a ‘Samay Raina Unfiltered’ tour in Canada last month, made a light-hearted comment on the controversy. In his first remarks on stage, he joked with the crowd saying, “Thanks for paying my lawyer’s fees”
