Kamal Haasan has condoled the murder of senior Kannada journalist Gauri Lankesh, who was shot dead outside her home in Bengaluru by unidentified assailants.
Silencing a voice with a gun is the worst way to win a debate. Condolence to all those who are grieving Gauri Lankesh's demise.

Shekhar Kapur of Vishwaroopam fame and actress Sonam Kapoor of Raanjhanaa fame also took to Twitter to share their grief on the dastardly murder.
To kill someone for their views is not Democracy, its beginnings of a Banana Republic, where violence speaks louder than words #GauriLankesh

Deeply saddened & angered by the #GauriLankeshMurder. It’s time we silence violent ideologies & bring the criminals to justice.
