CM Naidu mulls new law against social media abuse to punish miscreants

VIJAYAWADA: Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday underscored the need for punishing miscreants misusing social media platforms and posting objectionable remarks against women.

Accusing YSRC activists of resorting to posting offensive comments against Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan and Home Minister Vangalapudi Anitha, Naidu opined that national and international laws must be studied to formulate legislation to punish such anti-social elements, who commit grave offences under the pretext of freedom of speech and expression.
