Supreme Court orders virtual freedom, deletes 66(A): Netas vs Netizens?

The UPA brought Section 66(A) of the IT Act, the BJP failed to kill it. Today, Supreme Court struck it down as unconstitutional and both parties welcomed court's decision. On The Buck Stops Here, we debate: is it netas vs netizens? Are all politicians scared of free speech? Is it BJP's 'virtual' double standards to protest censorship in Opposition and defend it in power? And should there be any limits on freedom of expression on the internet? Also on the show, an exclusive interview with minister of communications and IT Ravi Shankar Prasad.

VK Singh's Twitter bomb: Was he forced to attend Pakistan event?

As General VK Singh clarifies his tweets on #DUTY & #DISGUST, on the Buck Stops Here, we debate: was General VK Singh forced to attend Pakistan Day event at the High Commission of Pakistan? Did his tweets undermine Prime Minister's authority? With former army chief attending an event with separatists in attendance, what signal does it send to soldiers? And with this controversy over VK Singh's tweets, is the joke on India?
