Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on his blog today appealed comment writers to refrain from using inappropriate language that could hurt some section/group or a person’s sentiments. Modi said “with freedom of expression comes responsibility.”

In Gujarati version of his blog post, Modi writes, “Friends, many a time, overwhelmed by emotions, some friends tend to use inappropriate language which could hurt sentiments of certain section/group person. We should refrain from doing so. It is important to understand that with freedom of expression comes responsibility.”

Modi further writes, “Interacting with you through the blog and reading your comments is an enjoyable experience and I always look forward to more opportunities. In fact, it has become a significant part of my work routine.Quite a Few friends have repeatedly asked whether I actually read your comments or not. So once again I repeat, Yes, I do read each and every comment on the blog with much interest though I am unable to reply to each comment individually due to time constraints…. I thank all the friends whose comments have been a source of inspiration as well as energy to me.”
