Prominent members of Kolkata's civil society have spoken up again, condemning the "culture of violence and intolerance" that made film-maker Anurag Kashyap quit the microblogging platform Twitter after allegations of threats to his family.

"When we talk of intolerance, it depends on who is empowered. For example, there may be people who think that they might dislike something but cannot do anything about it. Also, there can be people who feel that they can do something about it when they are empowered," said Anurag Kashyap
