VIDEO: Why Do We Need Freedom of Speech? Watch Vir Das Nail the Answer in His Potcast!

In a recent episode of his web series called Potcast, actor-comedian Vir Das advocates one’s right to freedom of speech and slams the ‘govt/bhakts/trolls’ for their backlash that only ‘answers a question with a counter-question’.
