i dont understand the sentence "hurting religious sentiments". every religion supports genocide,racism and tyranny . believers can kill others , noone can say a word against them.is it secularism? this is secular dictatorship. --- On Mon, 19/11/12, Sukla Sen <[email protected]> wrote:

It is alleged that she has been arrested for allegedly hurting religious sentiments. To my mind it is absurd to say that protesting against a bandh hurts religious sentiments. Under Article 19(1)(a) of our Constitution freedom of speech is a guaranteed fundamental right . We are living in a democracy, not a fascist dictatorship. In fact this arrest itself appears to be a criminal act since under sections 341 and 342 it is a crime to wrongfully arrest or wrongfully confine someone who has committed no crime. Hence if the facts reported are correct, I request you to immediately order the suspension, arrest, chargesheeting and criminal prosecution of the police personnel (however high they may be) who ordered as well as implemented the arrest of that woman, failing which I will deem it that you as Chief Minister are unable to run the state in a democratic manner as envisaged by the Constitution to which you have taken oath, and then the legal consequences will follow Regards Justice Katju (Chairman, Press Council of India, and former Judge, Supreme Court of India) -- Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
