Freedom of expression my fundamental right: Raj Thackeray

Low in intelligence, the maharastrians are satisfied with early marriage and a simple life. They cannot compete with others, and so turned on to rowdism to acheive their aims. First it was against South Indians and now against North Indians and already they are fighting among themselves. All major cities should be directly under the central government so that these criminals cannot make money by extorortion

Raj Thackeray and his lawyer before asserting his right to freedom of expression, should get hold of and read 'A Report of the Special Committee on Hate Propaganda (Bill 3-C of the House of Commons of Canada, An Act to Amend the Criminal Code). This report is a study in the power of words to maim and what it is that a civilised society can do about it. Not every abuse of human communication can or should be controlled by the law or custom. But every society from time to time draw lines at the point where the intolerable and impermissible coincide. In a free society, where the privilege of speech can induce ideas that may change the very order itself, there is a bias weighted heavily in favour of the maximum of rhetoric whatever the cost and consequences. But that bias stops this side of injury to the community and to individual members of identifiable groups innocently caught in verbal crossfire that goes beyond legitimate debate and freedom of expression. This report has made great efforts to re-examine, therefore, the parameters of permissible argument in a world more easily persuaded than before because the means of transmission are so persuasive. But ours is a world aware of the perils of falsehoods and hatred disguised as fact and of conspirators eroding the community’s integrity through pretensions that conspiracies from elsewhere now justify verbal assaults. And all in the name of freedom of speech or freedom of expression. Such expressions that lead to violence or threat of violence, murder and mayhem and that which endangers the peace and tranquility of the nation are nothing but criminal acts punishable by various statutes of India.

great thoughts ...but flawed execution. Your kind of comments are as toxic as what Thackrey is spweing. I don't know if you realized this as you typed these words, but you urging the MNS morons to get off the back of north indians only to get on the backs of minority muslims. Atleast when talking about fundamental rights and constitution, have the decency to diffrentiate between hindus and the rest.

And Mr Thackrey, The freedom to settle down and earn our living in ANY part of our country is OUR fundamental right which you sir, are encroaching upon in a very violent manner. Somebody send this moron back to grade 6 Civics lessons to learn more about the Duties and Responsibilities that come with rights.

we will not watch or buy any movies or products endorsed by nana, sunil, and the punk salman khan. we will boycot these actors for siding with thakray.

King Auranzeb sent army under Maharaja Ranjit Singh to keep Maharastra under federal government in Delhi. I guess, the centre must do the same.

Democracy gives freedom of expression but it did not allow anyone to give such statement like raj thakare is giving.These kind of statement shows that he does not know indian constitutions basics.For this kind of man nothing more can be written.Also for ur kind information that in Maharastra most of the beurocrats are north indians.

IF MF HUSSAIN HAS GOT THE RIGHT OF FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION IN UGLY DRAWINGS ...THEN Y RAJ TAKHRE SHOULD NOT.. HE IS 100% RIGHT...

People of Bihar and UP have to wake up and see what their politicians have done to their state. Nalanda in Bihar was once the center of world education but now it is in ruins. Ordinary citizens have to ask hard questions to their government.-why is it that business don’t come to their states-why there are no pro business policies-why don’t Nitish Kumar and Mayawati go to European and North America countries to attract new businesses? Look at southern sates they aggressively seek investment in their states.-why cant the state government provide basic amenities to its citizens-why does the state government not provide safe environment to its citizens and business-why does the judicial system not work as intended-why is there less education and more violence in schools and colleges

It is surptising to read that the statement said by Raj saying that freedom of expression is fundamental right which he putting in wrong context. Obviously he does not know what freedom measn. For his knowledge ..." Freedom means one has choice to set ones own limits". Those limits have been set by constitution, laws and regulations. Any expression which hurt innocent and hardworking people is morally wrong.

You ass if speech is your fundamental right so is the right to live or earn anywhere is each Hindu's right in India. If you want to chase people go after the terrorists who are sleeping in cells in Mumbai and make it safe for Hindus. Kick their asses and not make an ass of yourself. Leave these people alone. Remember if you hurt people you will be hurting yourself more.

You should be fundamently JAILED, this should be your fundamently right.

Your (Bal,Raj, Udhav, Salman, Sunil Shetty and Nana Patekar) days are over. You are the burden on our nation. You people behave like agent of pakistan or taken bribe from Pakistan to deestablise our nation. What the hell our government is doing? Put all jokeres behind bars.

Yes mr. Raj Thackery freedom of expression is your fundamental right. But beating and killing innocent people and destroying their property is not you right. It is a criminal act and you should be punished for that.Why don't you respect the fundamental right of every citizen of India to seek employment in any part of the country he/she likes?

Yes mr. Raj Thackery freedom of expression is your fundamental right. But beating

And living in any part of the country is every citizens fundamental right too... Including North Indian.
