Only one person can publicly talk about his 'Mann ki Baat': Kejriwal

January 23, 2016 13:21

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday supported Bollywood director and producer Karan Johar for his remark about growing 'intolerance' in the country. Kejriwal also attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the intolerance issue.

The Delhi CM on Saturday tweeted in Johar's support and said that, "Karan Johar right. Only one person in this country can publicly talk abt his mann ki baat. No one else can do that."

Speaking at the Zee Jaipur Literature Festival on Saturday, the producer-director has said that 'freedom of expression' is "the biggest joke" in today's world.

He said, "Revealing your mind in today's time can land you in jail. We are in a tough country to speak about our personal lives. I feel very sad about it, because being a public figure, you are expected to help a certain movement."
