Freedom and politics

The Maanga argues in his blog titled 'Khushboo and PMK' that the PMK or the self-appointed 'Tamil Protection' squad is well within their rights say what they may about Khushboo or anyone they consider a threat to Tamil culture. What The Maanga has conviniently or negligently ignored is that Khushboo never through slippers, tomatoes, etc at the 'moral police' of Tamilian culture but she was treated to that and worse. Maybe 'Freedom of Speech' is one thing but agitating and instigating people towards such activities for sheer political mileage is despicable.
I will also be following the impending TN elections in 2006 and would like to start reporting on the lead-up campaigns, candidacy and leadership issues ala The Maanga.
