I read the news about how two girls were arrested for questioning the Bandh after Bal Thackeray's death. No one wants Bal saheb's demise to be remembered for this. By arresting them, the people responsible have stole the thunder away from the main issue and handed it on a silver platter to the girls involved. That being said, Im not sure if writing about this constitutes a violation of laws. Now both these girls have to live out their life for the next few months in fear of what could happen. Every time there is an anniversary, they would have to keep a low profile. Look at how the general responsible for Blue Star operation was attacked 38 years after the incident, inspite of just being a loyal and obedient Government servant.
Most people believe that the IT law should make it clear about what grounds people could be arrested for. I believe that more you start defining the law, the more it stays ambiguous. It is a modern wonder how the civil and criminal laws survived for this many years in a culturally diverse region as India. I believe the Genius of the other Saheb from Maharashtra should receive a mention here.
