During a pre-Christmas event on Dec. 21 in Hyderabad, India, Telangana’s Chief Minister Revanth Reddy said the government would soon propose a law to curb hate speech. While speaking about religious intolerance, Reddy referred to the Karnataka Hate Speech and Hate Crimes (Prevention) Bill recently passed in the neighboring state. He added that the Congress party-led government in Telangana has worked to create an atmosphere where people can practice their religion of choice while respecting others’ faith.
