Gandhi & Arundhati Roy: patriotic or seditious?

[LadyGaga]

Sedition is a very serious charge,and anybody who is liable to be prosecuted under this charge in Independent India in 2010 is certainly not a person whose virtues are going to be extolled in this world.So if Arundhati Roy does find herself behind bars,she is not going to be called mahatma by anybody.

Arundhati Roy defends remarks on Kashmir



Under attack over her statements on Kashmir, writer Arundhati Roy on Tuesday said she only spoke what “millions of people” in Kashmir have been saying everyday for years.

“Pity the nation that has to silence its writers for speaking their minds,” Ms. Roy said in a statement from Srinagar where she is on a visit.

“Pity the nation that needs to jail those who ask for justice while communal killers, mass murderers, corporate scamsters, looters, rapists, and those who prey on the poorest of the poor, roam free,” she said.

Her statement came against the backdrop of the government contemplating action against her and hardline Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani under charges of sedition and seeking legal opinion in this regard.

Ms. Roy has made two speeches in New Delhi and Srinagar in the past few days in which she sought independence for Kashmir from India.

The writer said she has read in newspapers that she may be arrested on charges of sedition for her remarks supporting ‘Azadi’ for Kashmir. “I said what millions of people here say every day. I said what I as well as other commentators have written and said for years.

“Anybody who cares to read the transcripts of my speeches will see that they were fundamentally a call for justice,” she said.

If it is illegal,and she has gone beyond the constitution,she will be made aware of INDIA's rights against such acts of sedition.Rules are made for such eventualities.Whatever she says,she is not going to be called Mahatma.
