Freedom of expression is the soul of democracy

What is a nation where people can not speak ?

Agreed that people must be sensitive to others feelings and must express their views in a decent and non hurting ways. But nothing can justify use of fear & threat to suppress voice of people. If India has to remain alive as a democratic nation, it has to guard people's right to express their views. If someone has expressed opinion in a wrong manner then public at large will condemn it. It should not be argued that people will get influenced by someones opinion. People today are well aware and can not be fooled. Of course if someone is intentionally trying to harm society, then laws are there to take care of such people.

Those who are using fear and threat to have their say, they are not only harming India they are harming themselves. New India is rising where people are literate, aware, conscious of their rights and duties, feels committed to nation and knows the importance of healthy society in a vibrant democracy. Therefore all those who are working against the interest of nation will be rejected. It is time for such people to shed negative approach towards society and nation to prove their loyalty towards nation by building nation, not destroying it.
