Hate Speech
The CAA is a law that provides a path to citizenship for non-Muslim immigrants from neighboring countries, which many see as discriminatory against Muslims. Motwani’s tweets, which expressed support for the CAA and suggested that Muslim protesters were anti-national and anti-Hindu, sparked outrage on social media, with many accusing her of spreading hate speech and misinformation.
Motwani deleted some of the tweets and issued a statement clarifying her position on the matter. Many called for her to be held accountable for her statements and urged tech companies to distance themselves from her.
