“Tamilisai was arrogant and Sofia has a right to freedom of expression”

Lois Sofia, a student who is pursuing studies in Canada, shouted “fascist BJP government down, down” at the airport in Tuticorin while she and Tamilisai Soundararajan, BJP’s Tamil Nadu chief, were waiting to collect their luggage after travelling together on a flight. Tamilisai lodged a complaint and Sofia was promptly charged by Tamil Nadu police. Kaliappan, Treasurer of Makkal Athikaram, defends Sofia and claims her right to express views was denied.
