Baba ramdev arrested....supporters attacked

[desioptimist]

I am not sure whether the lathi charge was because of unruly crowd and stone pelting(which govt is blaming) or just to forcefully remove him.
Remember govt did not do that with earlier movement because it was peaceful.
Let there be an investigation, I am no way saying govt is innocent or guilty.

Remember, police fires at "innocent protesters" in kashmir and elsewhere too. Lathicharge is routine in India, it is a brute force crowd control mechanism by underpaid, undermanned police force.
Pleople are talking as if they live in europe.

Were the people armed or was he promoting violence? As pointed earlier separatist's can come down to Delhi and promote national disintegration , how come that works for congress?

He can do the same inside a hall but not on streets. And the delhi incident which happened as a seminar was charged for sedition.

whether the baba is a fraud or not is not a matter. the issue is that what congress did was utterly not acceptable . they was not only given a political agenda for the other parties , but they detained a person who was thinking to end corruption... the congress fears that if the black money list in swiss bank is out , then most of their own netas will be arrested, therefore they are so resistant over the matter...

hahaha..u can do the sdition activites inside the hall but u want to do peaceful protest against the government u can't ?? shameful

 

[luckyyy]

Sure if some one calls smone Osama Ji and prefers to call a sadhu cheat without any case pending against him in any court of law.

i think inplace of public agitation against curruption had the ramdev choose to file a PRL on it in court and had appoint shashi bhusan or prashant bhushan as advocate , he could get a big peice of land in return for droping the case...

unfortunaly shashi bhusan or prashant bhushan goinmg to eat mallie in lokpal bill commette too , kabil sible has made it indirectly clear that he won't going to let lokpal bill a reality by forcing ramdev to refuce to allow anna hajarey at his stage..

look at what you have written mate. farmers and students will take over? you want farmers and students to decide our future? this country is growing everyday because it does not have socialists or idealists at the top . we need pragmatic people . you think a farmer will be able to understand the intricacy of global finance ? and if not the congress what alternative is there? Bjp ? i do not want a communal government . no matter what you say about the congress they are infinitively better than alternatives we have now .

I agree with the later parts of your posts a bit...........................but at the same time it amuses me how you Ignore Farmers and Students who form more than 60%(might be way over this no.) of total electorate here in India how can any government policy be formed without taking their basic demands in consideration.

I won't hesitate giving BJP a 2nd chance if they have a leader like A.B.Vajpayee.

Its not the first time somebody voicing against causes. If you are in India , go to ur state capital and check if there is any cause with a goal, the chances are there might be. Try supporting them.

These Babas with "against corruption" doesnt hold much other than few media exposure, which he already gets through bollywood connections and all.

Try standing up for mean cause , not for these ones.

Use the head.

It's not about causes, it's about fundamental rights of individuals in a democracy, today you don't support his cause of whatever, tommorow what if a just cause is crushed by force

Nice ones !!!

I agree with your point. Peaceful protest should be allowed. Why do we have laws which asks us to take permission before peacefully gathering?
Why will he amas 65000 strong crowd, calling it yoga shivir?

But I think govt did use a bit excessive force, but we dont know the ground situation. Lathicharge in India is routine.

LOL I don't remember Arundhati Roy getting charge with sedition or Syed Ali Geelani's, Lone's or Umer Farooq's being dragged out of Delhi

so why did GOI allowed that in first place and why they woke up at night and thought that it is the right time to displace them ?? why he got the VVIP treatment at airport?? this shows the inconsistency on part of the GOI..

Sedition cant held against court scrutiny, you can charge anybody you want, they will be respectfully discharged by court.
Supreme court is increasingly being strict in this regard, you basically have to actively support an armed insurrection to get charged.

Baba's arrest invoked memories of Emergency: Santosh Hegde

Was he some terrorist that he had to be picked up amid such high drama and urgency?" Justice Santhosh Hegde, member of the Lokpal Bill drafting committee, said about the Baba Ramdev [ Images ] arrest.

"It has brought back memories of the horrific Emergency which was imposed in June 1975. Not only is this a clear case of violation of Fundamental Rights, but it appears to be exactly like the situation that prevailed during Emergency," he said.

"What was the hurry? Was this some Emergency situation where terrorists were slipping out? The government has a lot to answer for this (the arrest)," he added.

"Was it necessary to treat the protestors that way? They were protesting peacefully. They were beaten up, and the brutality which I witnessed has pained me no end. I don't think anyone has the right to disturb a peaceful agitation," he thundered.

"It is the Fundamental Right of every citizen to gather peacefully to demonstrate, and until Saturday, nothing untoward had happened which gave room for any suspicion that there may be a law and order problem. This looks like a case where the government wants to curb the people's voice," he said.

"When a democratically elected government resorts to such action, then the situation is very bleak. Just because negotiations failed, they didn't have to resort to violence. We want an answer from the government as to what ignited the situation, and shall not rest until we get answers. I feel for those various people who came all the way from different parts to support the movement," he added.

"Ramdev had permission to use the Ramleela ground and the government was aware what was going on there. The use of force is to be condemned since the demonstration was vocal and never physical," he said.

Gov. apologists pls repond
