That’s one side of the story. The thing I got from this article was that she was highly motivated for various causes and the daughter loves and respects her.
But I find it hard to believe that Supreme court imprisoned her for no reason. Why was her bail denied? There must have been reasons. What were those? The state does oppose bail in most cases, but if the evidence is baseless or if none exists, courts in India are quick to grant bail. Something tells me this is only half the story. Would love to read more about the other side too. It would be good if print can interview the state prosecutor or write about the chargesheet or evidence on record. Most hearings in Indian courts have detailed paper trail, so I am surprised none of those records are referenced here.
There has to be a mechanism to deal with the menace of Urban Nexals more effectively. Giving them Govt accommodation & feeding them on honest Taxpayers money probably is not the way.
So what does your exalted highness propose? Shoot them dead on sight?
There is zero prospect of this now happening, of course, but the law on Sedition needs to be rescinded. The sensible guidelines framed by the apex court as far back as in 1962 for it to be invoked are flouted with impunity all over the country.
This is archaic. And during the elections then Home Minister Rajnath Singh said that the sedition laws would be made even more stringent. Looks like we are heading for a dictatorship that brooks no dissent or difference of opinion. This seems worse than Indira Gandhi’s Emergency.
It is a feudalistic draconian rule against all human rights. I condemn this and she and others arrested
