    Instead of them to debat on bill to provide more jobs. Security of life and properties. Good education and health care. The system need a total reform. They seat there debating on hate speech. There should be freedom of speech.

    Hate speech is not acceptable all over the world but we know that this one isn't about hate speech. The motive is to intimidate and silence people from speaking any form of truth or criticising the government.
