SOME INDIANS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF 'FREEDOM': FAROOQ ABDULLAH
New Delhi Oct 26: Amid a furore over remarks by Arundhati Roy on Jammu and Kashmir, Union Minister Farooq Abdullah today said there was "too much of freedom" in India that was being used by some to destroy the country.
"There is too much freedom in India that some Indians are taking advantage of and destroying the country. There are no limits to the way they are using this freedom," the former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir told reporters here when asked about the recent controversial speech of Roy on the state's accession to India.
Asked if people such as Roy were exploiting the freedom of speech, the Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy said, "The country has given the freedom, it is up to them how they use this freedom. It is for them to realise what is right and what is wrong. What to say and what not to say is for a person to decide."
