We need freedom of speech, we have the right to criticize anything. For degrading hinduism anybody can do anything
*Free speech not aplicable while criticising islam.
If it is against Islam then nobody will raise the voice against arrest. Everybody wants to degrade hinduism
Laws should be ammend amended
I remember the famous cartoons by Aseem Trivedi. And he got punishment for the true representation of Indian scenario. Politicians and leaders have the fear of truth.
True... Mr. Kumar.
If you disagree with that then you should visit US once. They are criticizing Trump in a vulgar way even after they dont have free speech. Shame on you saffrons and feku
Here in India no free speech. Under modi rule everything is punishable.
