Hand in hand with freedom of speech goes the power to be heard, to share in the decisions of government which shape men's lives.

If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.

Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter

There is no ageism or 'youthism' when it comes to freedom of speech. We are all citizens.

Abdul Basit and the Hurriyat did not thank their freedom of speech in India when they could spend the Pakistan National Day and talk freely on the Indian soil. Freedom of speech has gone unnoticed with no sign of any gratefulness.
