Chandigarh, November 1

Kangana Ranaut has called out Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau's remarks on the limits of free speech.

His statement comes after the recent beheading of a teacher in France, who showed his students cartoons of Prophet Mohammed.

While talking to reporters on Friday, Trudeau defended free speech, but added, that it was "not without limits".

"We will always defend freedom of expression,” Trudeau answered to a question about the right to show a caricature of the Prophet Mohammed, as France’s Charlie Hebdo magazine did.

“But freedom of expression is not without limits,” he added.

“We owe it to ourselves to act with respect for others and to seek not to arbitrarily or unnecessarily injure those with whom we are sharing a society and a planet.”

Kangana retweeted the news article with Trudeau’s comments to post her response.

“Dear Justin,we don’t live in an ideal world,people mustn’t but everyday they are breaking signal,doing drugs,molesting others,hurting sentiments.If every petty crime’s punishment is beheading each other then why we need a Prime Minister or any law n order?” she tweeted.

She further posted on Twitter, “Anybody makes cartoons on Ram, Krishan, Maa Durga or any God for that matter Allah, Christ, must be punished if they do it at work place or social media suspend them, if they disrespect openly send them to jail for 6 months, that’s all, people have a right to be atheist. I can choose not to believe in your God, that’s fine, it’s not a crime, I can express how I don’t agree with your religion, yes !! that’s freedom of expression, learn to live with my voice, you have learnt to slit my throat cause you have no answers to my questions, ask yourself.”

Minutes later, the actor posted the tweet again seeking a response from the Canadian prime minister.
