    The last 70 years, the only thing Sangh parivar did is posting morphed images of Nehru and Gandhi's. Unfortunately they have now realising it is not right to defame leaders just because they don’t believe in their ideology

    @ Santhu....,

    I agree with you in toto ..... "

    Though I may be wrong ..., let me enlighten you to know whether your opinion/view is limited to our honorable PM Modi only ...,

    if the law keeping forces all across Hindustan review the messages posted in social network to make a fair case.., then probably the amount of abusive/derogatory messages floating against President of Hindustan's National Congress party & honorable MP Smt Sonia Gandhi..., may probably make law keeping force busy round the clock...,

    Without prejudice.., is there any specific word or words is/are patented or attributable to any person holding constitutional position..., while i hope & to my knowledge there is none..., but the reaction from a certain pattern of readers/borders to certain words (which has a strong generic substantive meaning) makes me feel otherwise..., (to my memory someone reacted to my response/views with a reference as FEKU intellectuals, while i have no problem to accept in its true spirit to correct myself, i only hope the same ethics holds good universally).

    take it easy man..., just DOMBARATA..., mast mazaa maadi..., cool drinks yathakke...?

    its not only for Modi but for anyone who posts derogatory content, may be against god, religion, etc..

    But the best thing is that you still have freedom of speech on websites, social media and news.

    Best comment : freedom of speech. This law that robs away the freedom of speech is due to the same intolerance shown against culture and religion.

    Public figures, politicians are subject to cartoons and ridicule - part and parcel of democratic set up.
    Personal hate against private individuals should be regulated. One should not control cartoons against celebrities.

    There is rule. We can criticize only those who at least worthy of criticism. Decent, educated and persons of integrity and very high moral values always open to criticism which highlights their weakness for correction. EPI - Exceptionally Preposterous Idiots can not digest criticism, whereas VIPs accept criticisms.

    I am always surprised why such alacrity is not shown by the Indian Police and Judiciary when posting obscene messages, Is the law only for people against BJP. We are losing our freedom under this govt and we need to protest this.

    That’s because in many cases complaints are not filed against senders of obscene messages or morphed nude photos for fear of police harassment and embarrassment. The police need to be tamed first.
