Privacy rights cannot be for protection of  terrorists, corrupt: Prasad

NEW DELHI: Amid the recent political developments and alleged anti national activities in the country in the name of privacy, Law and Justice Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Saturday said right to privacy cannot be for the protection of terrorists and corrupt people.

Speaking at the International Judicial Conference here, he said though he is a supporter of social media, he is troubled when it is misused by some people for their own benefits.

Describing the growing custom of criticising the verdict of the Apex Court on social media as “dangerous”, he said judges should have complete freedom to take decisions.

He said, “I am a supporter of social media. However, running a campaign if the decision is undesirable is unfortunate. Even while criticising the decisions, some things need to be taken care of. ” (AGENCIES)
