Boundaries vital for freedom of expression, says Kunnathur MLA Ullas Kovoor
Kunnathur MLA Ullas Kovoor emphasized that freedom of expression must be balanced with social responsibility and mutual tolerance. Speaking at a seminar in Kollam, he warned that while social media offers potential for good, it should not be used to endanger others or disrupt public peace.

He was inaugurating Samanwayam 2026, a seven-day series of seminars jointly hosted by Kottarakara Ashraya and the Anatharillatha Bharatham State committee on the Kalayapuram Ashraya campus in Kollam on Sunday.
