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.
