Johar had kicked up a storm with his remarks about freedom of expression being the biggest joke in the country on the inaugural day of the Jaipur Literature Festival on January 21."

The talk about freedom of expression is the biggest joke I believe in the world. Democracy is the second biggest joke I think...I really wonder how are we really democratic?
