We continue to highlight the importance of civil liberty and also civil liberty or idea as civils rights that contribute to strengthening democracies around the globe.

These global civil liberties are the bedrock of democracies worldwide, he insisted.

When asked if this activity violated some of the spirit or worth of democracy, Price claimed, “I couldn’t claim.

The surprise action comes weeks after the broadcaster broadcast a two-part docudrama on the 2002 Gujarat troubles and also India.
