“It is a bill that is dead on arrival because these are abnormalities. Even the people who are promoting it should be the first to be killed or hanged.
“You have to define what is hate speech, describe when it was made, who takes the decision and who kills and so on. Those who are promoting hate speech bill have been guilty of hate speech in the last 10 years.
“They should be killed first. There are things you tell a child and the child will look at you and say how can you be telling me this when you are guilty of it, you are not a good teacher.”
