Debate on intolerance

Jai Hind 

The whole debate on the intolerance ever since MODI Government has taken over after 2014 general 

elections smacks of inability of the powers that lost governance to digest the rise of right wing BJP with its allies that is NDA

Yes there are condemnable fringe elements in the entire political spectrum and such elements have to be contained and constricted with a firm hand whether they belong to left, centre or right wings of the political dispensations. 

Under no circumstances anti national sloganeering and demonstrations can be allowed to spoil the peace and tranquility of the nation. 

However Laws of sedition need to be reviewed and peaceful protests against poor governance can't be termed as seditious though present laws permit even criticism of the government also punishable under IPC for sedition. 

The demonstrations elugulising the terrorists have to covered under the sedition laws. Debate on whether to have capital punishment of death penalty can be allowed as different citizens hold diametrically opposite views to the existing laws. 

No citizen can be allowed unfettered freedom to spew venomous innuendos against the state attacking the sovereignty and integrity of the nation. 

Peculiarly the ongoing debate on " intolerance " is motivated and manufactured to destabilise and defame the lawfully elected government. 

The government has to run its course of elected tenure unhindered. Opposition too has had an incremental contribution to spoil the peaceful environment. 

India should progress ahead. Government too needs to be sensitive to people's aspirations. Though charges levelled by the opposition are farther from truth those in the governance have be cautious about perceptions generated by the opposition propaganda. 

In this surcharged environment the government must reign in the fringe elements supporting its ideology and crossing the lines of democratic tolerance amidst politically surcharged environment. 

Long live India.
