Palghar Bandh Against Suspension of Cops in FB Case

Meanwhile a row has kicked up over the contentious Section 66A of the IT act under which the two girls were arrested in the first place. Section 66A states action against anyone who sends a grossly offensive message through a communication device. Several activists and politicians are already up in arms over Section 66A. On Monday, BJD MP Jay Panda and 8 other MPs filed a petition demanding a discussion on freedom of speech and amending the controversial Section 66A of the IT Act. Several activists have approached the Courts, asking for Section 66A to be withdrawn.
