Veteran actress Shabana Azmi has said dissent in a democracy is fine but people should not get violent and take the situation in their hands. The 66-year-old actress, who was addressing a session here along with filmmaker Aparna Sen, said if the law and order is disturbed then the state governments should take the initiative to control the situation. And dissent in art is a fundamental right. But if it is dissent about a book, a piece of art, and if you don't like it, you have the right to express your views outside the theatre but you cannot create law and order situation. Echoing Azmi's views, Sen said, "The state has to take responsibility in controlling law and order problem."
