CONSTITUTION DAY CELEBRATION
Hon'ble Mr.Justice.N. Seshasayee and Hon'ble Mr. Justice.B. Pugalendhi graced their audience in our Constitution Day Celebration of Central Government Counsels at Ulaga Tamil Sangam Madurai yesterday.Hon'ble Mr.Justice.N. Seshasayee's views on freedom of speech was thought provoking.Lordship lamented,
"Freedom of speech is being grossly misused these days and nobody cares about the adverse impact it can leave,
He further said that the freedom of speech and expression was being misused, especially on social media platforms.
An uninformed crowd was occupying the middle space on these platforms and this had led to the misuse of the fundamental right which was deplorable. He observed that one’s caste, religion and status were unnecessarily being brought into discussions.
People should speak with responsibility and not misuse the freedom of speech. One can criticise, but while doing so should also look at what he/ she has contributed, the judge said. Hon'ble Mr Justice.B. Pugalendhi's guidance to us carving a niche of his speech out of his experience as the Additional Advocate General of Madras High Court Madurai Bench in yester years was sensationally emotional to the depths of moistening the eyes of the audience.Indeed a proud moment to our Team Central Government Counsels.
