Freedom of expression isn’t a right to abuse: Calcutta HC
The Calcutta High Court, while refusing to impose a gag order on a former BJP leader, emphasized that freedom of expression doesn't permit abuse or incite violence. The court, hearing the leader's anticipatory bail plea, acknowledged her right to free speech but expressed disapproval of her social media post, terming it as containing "unwarranted insinuations" against a religious community.
