The violence in Tripura and Maharashtra seems to be dangerously escalating communalism, with the States responsible for law and order politicizing the issue further and the Centre patronizing it!
Reportedly hundreds of lawyers and observers were arrested under UAPA and two young woman journalists arrested for creating hatred between communities for reporting arson of minority establishments and mosque and other live stories of witnesses on complaint by a VHP supporter!
Only eight miscreants reportedly arrested! The government vehemently denies this happened at all. The Editors Guild and the citizens are worried that reporters are being arrested under terrorist laws for doing their job and reporting may now only be done if it coincides with the government view.
Amid book row, Salman Kurshid’s Nainital home was torched and vandalized by mobs reportedly shouting Jai Shri Ram. In Mangalore illegal moral policing by youth mobs is rampant!
These extremely dangerous proliferating trends elicit not a word from our PM and hopefully the Courts will suo moto rise to the occasion to stop this frightful trend.
