"We are living in a democratic setup where each citizen is entitled to their freedom of speech and expression, according to the Constitution, so everyone is free to say whatever they want. However, people should do so thoughtfully, based on some intellectual argument within the framework of law and order. I haven't received any threat calls until now, even if I do I'm not afraid of anyone. I am an Indian Christian and I am proud of both parts of my identity."
