In a series of anguished tweets, Pawan Kalyan condemned the murder of noted journalist and activist, Gauri Lankesh. He said that killing of one Gauri in a cold blooded manner is going to a create million Gauris.

 

The Karnataka-based senior journalist was shot dead outside her home in Bengaluru. The 55-year-old editor and activist had reportedly stepped out of her car and opened the gates when the assailants fired at her seven times. Four bullets hit her, one in the forehead.

Many reports have suggested that her murder was similar to the murder of other free thinkers like renowned scholar MM Kalburgi killed in 2015, Leftist thinker Govind Pansare in 2015, and rationalist and anti-superstition activist Narendra Dabholkar in 2013.

Celebrities have since condemned her killing, with some even calling it the death of free speech and democracy.

Kamal Haasan on Thursday tweeted that silencing a voice with a gun is no solution to a debate.
