The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday warned Kamal Haasan that he cannot use his right to speech “to hurt sentiments”, days after the Tamil Nadu actor-politician sparked a huge row with his remark that the Kannada language was “born out of Tamil”. “You have a right to speech… but not to hurt sentiments. The fundamental right of (free) speech and expression cannot be given to an extent that it hurts the sentiments of the masses,” the Karnataka High Court told the Tamil Nadu actor-politician Kamal Haasan.
