Dude.. This has nothing to do with Freedom.. Does V.Ravi respect Tantri's point of views? No.. thats exactly what the issue is.. look at what V.Ravi kind of politicians did to our country for past 50 years.. they ripped off public and built their families... its not a matter of respect.. but the question of logic... nothing to do with independence... no one else had these kind of issues... look at Yesudas.. he never provoked and created an issue... thats the mark of a ture devotee... V. Ravi... is a corrupt politician.. and who knows he must have intentionally created this situation for contraversy... to divert the public feeling from some major scam in kerala..
