WHILE addressing an election rally in Haryana, Home Affairs Minister Amit Shah criticised Rahul Gandhi for harbouring pro-Pakistan sentiments. He asked ‘what is the relationship between Congress and Pakistan’.
He questioned Rahul’s s patritotism and threatened him, saying if he talked against India he would ensure that all those who did so would be jailed.
Sedition cases had been instituted against intellectuals who happened to write an open letter to Indian prime minister. The letter criticised arbitrary arrests to stifle dissent, a sine qua non of democracy.
