Hate Speech Bill is unconstitutional, alleges BJP
BJP leaders and supporters staged a dharna in Karnataka on December 23, opposing the Karnataka Hate Speech and Hate Crimes (Prevention) Bill, 2025, which they deemed unconstitutional. They criticized the Siddaramaiah-led government for allegedly suppressing citizens' fundamental rights and claimed the bill aimed to silence dissent against the government. The protestors argued that the legislation lacked a clear definition of hate speech and could lead to the criminalization of ordinary citizens, undermining democratic principles.
