Have you read my Novella, “Mayhem of the Miserables!” available @ http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/52075
PTI / The HINDU.
Civil rights activist Dr. Binayak Sen, along with his wife Ilina Sen, speaks during a press conference in Mumbai on Monday.
Rights activist Binayak Sen on Monday demanded repeal of sedition laws, saying they were being used to “suppress” the voice of the people.
“Sedition laws are not benefiting free people in free polity and they should be repealed. The law is being used to suppress the voice of the people,” Dr. Sen, currently on bail after being convicted on charges of sedition by a Chhattisgarh court for his alleged links to Naxals, told reporters at the Press Club in Mumbai.
He said his organisation proposed to launch a campaign against sedition laws.
Dr. Sen said the process of expropriation of resources to private interests was increasing and it was against the directive principles of state policy. “Any land acquisition which hands over the resources to private interest is not legitimate.”
On public protests against Jaitapur nuclear power plant, he said the people there do not want the project to come up. “Democracy is not limited to elections, but it is about governance by consensus. Democracy demands that people be taken into confidence. In a Sovereign state, it is the people who are sovereign.”
‘Salva Judum still in existence’
I, personally, wouldn't go for total repeal, but for necessary amendments to ensure that it was used only against those who really wage war against the Sate of India and cause mass-mayhem.
