Don’t divert attention from terror faced today

The PM decides to observe a Partition Terror Day on August 14. Has terror been eliminated from India today?  Terror is rife in India, more so today. And it is not from external forces. It comes from the ruling govt  by design and also by a very poor administration.

First off, can you imagine thousands of Indians, literally gasping to death for want of oxygen, today in the 21st Century? India herself has sent a man-made vehicle to the moon: but allowed 1000s to die for want of oxygen? Were Indians, all over the Country, not terrorised  for 2 months?

Everyone knows the wilful terrorising of human rights champions by making use of draconian laws like UAPA (Unlawful Activities Prevention Act) and many others. The custodial death of Fr Stan Swamy, the misuse of Pegasus software and other draconian laws,  all point at the reason for the new Partition Terror Day,  to divert attention from the current real life terrors.
