So basically you can only agree with her. Freedom of pretty thin when it suits them. They can't even handle a little fence and be politically correct all the time? speech be damned. bit of difference of opinion. Even with humour or civility. And do we want celebrities to take a line or sit on the fence But when they want to hear something, they ask everyone else fter the entire Gurmehar Kaur and be politically correct all the time? Let us make up our to develop a thick skin and not get offended all the time. There furore, the message that has been mind! No, we only want them to speak when we like what is no winning. Asent out is that we are not allowed they have to say and when it suits our narrative! Then look at the political hypocrisy of it all. CPI(M) general to disagree with her and if we do so openly, People are openly saying, "what was the need for Sehwag to secretary Sitaram Yechury became the first to drag religion we will be called trolls. Why? Because she is speak?" It is not your call, dammit. He will speak when he into the entire debate when he parachuted to the campus to 20 years old, young and naive. And a martyr's daughter.

And no, you can't blame him for actual abuse that came Indian' not 'who is a Hindu'." But while hailing her courage, the same people use terms like Gurmehar's way. He is not responsible for people who Why make this about religion at all? Should he have not strong, brave, and independent. cowardly issue rape threats on Twitter. That would be like shown more maturity? Why no outrage over his comment to Which one is it? If she is brave and an adult I might add, can saying Gurmehar's point about Pakistan not being responsible needlessly draw religious lines into a students' campus issue she not handle disagreement?

No one asked "what was the need to say you have clarity enough on a sensitive issue to make a video Both arguments are bogus. (Sehwag has had to since tweet a Are only highly educated people supposed to opine on this?" Imagine if a right-winger had used religion first. and post it, surely you understand you will not get only "likes" clarification, saying he was only being facetious and Twitter? Several who found Sehwag a bully, hailed Akhtar. If it is about religion then let's say so openly. No judgment. We on it.

Yogeshwar Dutt, no one finds that problematic. Calling and trolled? Who decides who deserves it after all? Why not triple talaq at JNU.
