Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended free speech on Friday but added that it was “not without limits” and should not “arbitrarily and needlessly hurt” certain communities. He said, “We will always defend freedom of expression,” in response to a question about the right to show a caricature of the Prophet Mohammed, as France’s Charlie Hebdo magazine did. He further said, “But freedom of expression is not without limits. We owe it to ourselves to act with respect for others and to seek not to arbitrarily or unnecessarily injure those with whom we are sharing a society and a planet.”
Kangana Ranaut responded to a news article on Justin’s speech. She tweeted, “Dear Justin,we don’t live in an ideal world,people mustn’t but everyday they are breaking signal,doing drugs,molesting others,hurting sentiments.If every petty crime’s punishment is beheading each other then why we need a Prime Minister or any law n order?”

For the unversed, in his tribute to Samuel Paty (a teacher beheaded in the street for showing caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed in class in a course on freedom of expression), French President Emmanuel Macron defended the right to publish the cartoons in France. Post that, there was anger that led to protests.
