On the evening of 9th Feb. the so called cultural event in JNU Campus set an Earthquake of Highest magnitude and divided the society into two. The JNU student leaders like Umar Khalid and Kanhaiya Kumar’s attempt to justify the series of slogans that echoed on campus by steering a Debate of ‘Freedom of Expression’ is just shameful to watch. Inclined Intellectuals (?) Baboons’ coming out to support the Debate is a disgrace. The events that unfolded afterwards saw arrest of JNUSU President Kanhaiya Kumar and the charges of sedition filed against him and five others fuelled the debate even further! There is a fault-line between the concept of ‘Freedom of Expression’ and ‘Sedition’ that these so called intellectuals are trying to mask it up for playing the victim card in front of society. The ‘Freedom of Expression’ which is a right of all citizens as per ‘Constitution of India’ [Art. 19 (i) a] awards us freedom to express our feelings through means of speech, writing or suggestion. Feelings can be of please or displease. In this case as advocated by these Intellectuals as Displease with the way Government in centre works. Well the simple concept these baboons fail to understand is ‘India’ being something bigger, wider and stronger than ‘Government of India’. See ‘India’ being a ‘State’ and ‘Government’ being its organ, the Freedom of speech dictates total freedom to raise voice against the unjust policies, actions and yes even the Laws undertaken by government. But seeing the fine line between your Intention to raise voice against injustice and leading a rebellion against the State established by law (Constitution of India) on a defined geographical territory are two different things. Sec. 124 A of IPC deals with the offence of sedition which is clearly listed under the title of ‘Offences Against The State’ dictates ’Whoever by words (Spoken or Written) or signs or visible representations or otherwise, brings (or attempts to bring) into hatred or contempt, or excites (or attempts to excites disaffection, which includes disloyalty and all feelings of enmity) towards the Government established by law in India (meaning State), is Sedition’. Here lies the fine line between the ‘Freedom of Expression’ and ‘Sedition’ that these inclined students are either unaware of (By their actions they seem they aren’t!) or they are hiding this in face of their acts and steering up controversy to save their sorry bums from prosecution! It is for us to stand up and see through the smoke screen they have created, and the efforts they put in to get the charge of sedition off their back! Isn’t shouting out slogans demanding secession of Kashmir an Integral part of Indian ‘State’ direct threat to the Sovereign State of India? Isn’t pledging for Destruction of ‘State of India’ and vowing to continue the fight till it’s achieved an act of war against ‘State of India’? And if the accused students are so sure of their innocence why don’t they surrender to the court of Law and Face the charges? Their refusal to even stand up and face a Fair trial is suspicious!! The act of bringing absolute shame to ‘The Constitution of India’ by hiding behind the constitution itself (Freedom of Expression) is just a public insult of Constitution itself! However ‘Fine’ it may be but the ‘Fault-line between Freedom of Expression and Sedition’ is to be obeyed by all Citizens of India alike! So with right bestowed to me by Constitution of India All I ask from these so called ‘liberal’ Students is to answer me my questions as a fellow Citizen of India!! The reality is the accused students of JNU campus failed to understand the difference between ‘State’ and ‘Government’ and crossed the fine line separating ‘Freedom of Expression’ and committed a act of ‘Sedition’ by choice!! They should stand their ground face the trial and let the law (Which rules supreme) take its course!
