Airport faceoff: Did BJP’s Tamilisai overreact or did Sofia take activism too far?
  • 6 years ago
The spat between Tamil Nadu BJP chief Tamilisai Soundararajan and 28-year-old research scholar Lois Sofia at the Tuticorin airport has kicked up a huge storm. Lois Sofia was arrested after the BJP leader filed a complaint. She was released on bail after a night in jail. On social media, opinions are now sharply divided. Some argue that Lois Sofia’s detention for raising slogans in an aircraft is an attempt to curb dissent, while others insist that freedom of speech comes with responsibility. Did BJP’s Tamilisai overreact or did Sofia take activism a bit too far?
