AMC files Rs 10-cr defamation against Canadian national

I read a news related to defamation today ,and found it useful to share with you.It is about an Indian corporation that filed lawsuit against Canadian activist ,Lisa Warden for putting a video clip on You tube that damaged its reputation.

Lisa Warden,an animal rights activist , criticized Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) with putting a video clip that shows how they catch dogs by using Iron tongs . She believed using Iron tongs for catching dogs is dangerous for the dogs,while AMC argue that she crashed out its image .
Personally, I didn't watch this clip and have no idea about dog catching with any tools ,but just imagine that if a member of India's parliament put this video clip on YouTube,anyone couldn't sue him or her and it could be completely legal. I would say poor animals who don't have a parliament to do some benefit for them in any part of the world.
