Hi Sandip:
No spinning here is necessary at all. Anyone who is even remotely
familiar with democratic states' laws modelled after the British
system, would know that there ARE instances where the police can make
warrantless arrests. Even an ordinary citizen can make what is called
a 'Citizens' Arrest', under some circumstances.
However that is entirely different from the Indian Govts. invoking
National Security to squelch and
even physically round-up political dissenters, without DUE PROCESS,
every time. Never mind that it is the govt. itself that precipitates
such political turmoil.
Umesh, Sandip etc. are probably as qualified to be Indian district
magistrates as any. Imagine their JUDGEMENT to order the arrest of
'potential troublemakers' , without warrants, on grounds of , among
other labels, ' terrorism' applied to political dissent!
That is the truly scary part.
