Emphasizing the need to continue with Section 66A, making posting of offensive messages on social networking site an offence punishable up to three-year jail term,
Additional solicitor general Tushar Mehta said that it cannot be quashed or thrown out just because the provision is vague on defining the word "grossly offensive".
