Long live Indian democracy: Twitter reacts to Section 66 (A)

Most Twitterati heaved a sigh of relief at the SC's decision to scrap section 66 (A) of the IT Act. Here's what they had to say

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court struck down Section 66 (A) of the Information Technology Act, a controversial law that allowed police to arrest anyone making 'objectionable' remarks on social media such as Facebook and Twitter. In its ruling, the Supreme Court called the entire section unconstitutional and said it directly infringed the constitutional rights of Indians to freedom of expression.

So far, almost of the arrests for making derogatory comments on social media had involved commoners speaking out against politicians. In keeping with the spirit of the judgement, therefore, people took to Twitter to express their relief and joy, as well as to vent and rant against, who else, politicians. 

Some took to openly sharing their views and to lampoon the events leading up to the verdict:
