RELEASE THE LIST OF SACROSANCT PERSONALITIES LEST SPEECH DEFILES DISCOURSE

RELEASE THE LIST OF SACROSANCT PERSONALITIES LEST SPEECH DEFILES DISCOURSE

The Government of India ought to release the list of 'sacrosanct personalities' who cannot even be commented upon by way of truth-stating from codified scriptural texts. After that it should amend the Constitution and drop the 'Fundamental Right to Freedom of Speech and Expression' altogether instead of making a selective mockery of it by implementing the provision of 'reasonable restrictions' wherever muscle-power is wielded against it to bring forth legal action against perceived offenders. Perhaps, blasphemy law next in its tyrannical toxic sway!

One wonders how 'sensitive' the 'faithful' are to feeling 'hurt' by stray remarks as to stall proceedings in a country, deal death-threats, beheading-calls, mass molestation-threats, loot, arson, rampage and ruckus that knows no bounds. Sensitivity, of the 'faithful', indeed!
