[Reader-list] [Lalgarh Does not Exist]

[Rajendra Bhat Uppinangadi]

Dear All,

    any citizen, in his / her excercise of rights of freedom to expression
can express his/her views in democratic India, but taking laws into their
own hands as a way of demonstration of protest is not acceptable in any
society, as this violence not only hurts the innocents, but also destroys
the civil liberties of citizens and violence only begets more of it. Be it
naxalites, maoists, fanatics of any faith, when they resort to violent means
of addressing the issues that they percieve as wrong, it destroys the
societal harmony, liberties of the citizens, worse, it ushers in atrocities
by the state machinery on every citizen under assumption that he/she is
"sympathiser"
of such violent actions of these groups. Binayak Sen and all other well
meaning individuals  of naxalites also fall in this category,just as a
praveen togadia or afjal guru and geelanis and theestas of the nation. Let
the laws of the land take firm and definite action against law breakers,
whether in uniform or citizens of the nation, only rule of laws which if
impartial, non partisan, without fear or favour acts on the deviants in the
society, the democracy will floursh, dissent without violent action to
express dissent is acceptable, but dissent in the form of violence is not
acceptable in civil society.

Regards,

Rajen.
