| The perils of blatant secessionism | | 
By Rahul Pandita
Kashmiris should not give a chance to rogue elements in the Indian security agencies to justify false implication of scores of innocent Kashmiri youth in cases of terrorism
It has been a common sight in Kashmir Valley since the â90s: thousands of people accompanying the body of a terrorist killed in an encounter with security forces. Women wail and beat their chests, men shout pro-freedom slogans. Candy and coins are thrown over the bier. Many such dead terrorists happen to be foreigners, especially Pakistani nationals.

| | Legal view: Sedition law is draconian, a weapon in the hands of state | | |
By Dr. Mrinal Satish
Legally speaking, cheering for a Pakistani Cricket team or some other team is not sedition. If the information I got is correct, these students from Kashmir studying at a Meerut University did not do anything to topple the Indian government nor did they do something against the integrity of the country. The concerned university or the college has the right to deal with such cases. Even the decision of the university or the college can also be challenged in a court.
Our Sedition law is archaic and draconian. It was introduced by the British to keep leaders like Mahatma Gandhi in jail. Mahatma Gandhi wanted the Independent India to abolish the Sedition law... |

There is no concept of absolution in the modern criminal justice system
In 1997, Queen Elizabeth paid a visit to Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar, where, in 1919, a British army officer ordered his troops to fire at a crowd of unarmed Indians, leading to over a thousand deaths. Terming it as a âdifficult episode,â the Queen said that âhistory cannot be rewritten.â It was the closest the British had come to an apology â until February last year, when the British Prime Minister David Cameron visited Jallianwala Bagh and called the massacre a âdeeply shameful event in British history.â

What the Law Minister of Delhi, Shri Somnath Bharti did last week was absolutely indefensible and shameful. By trying to defend his Law Minister, Shri Arvind Kejriwal, CM of Delhi, has damaged his own reputation. Instead of rebuking the Law Minister or taking back his portfolio, he tried to make out that the Law Minister had taken a large number of his supporters directly to the police station, only because the people of the area wanted action to be taken against a few African women, who the public believed were indulging in drug and sex racketeering.
