How will I organize if government will slap a case against me and will put me in jail? In my previous comment I have shared examples of this happening to people who raised a voice or tried to protest.
Rest aside forming an opposition, I dont even feel safe to comment against government by using my real handle.

- ra7 6y agoNice try. None of the cases filed are for forming a political party or participating in democratic exercises. They range from criminal cases to defamation. The "newly formed" political party has been in power in Delhi since 2015 and has won the last two state elections. You are proving my point.
- throwaway384629 6y agoOf course they will not directly file a charge against you for forming a political party. But they will find other ways. Actually they did filed cases against students for protesting against government. https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/delhi/2020/apr/21/delhi-police-books-jamia-students-under-uapa-in-case-related-to-communal-violence-over-caa-2133389.html https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/delhi/2020/apr/21/de...
- pranav_pratap 6y agoYou cite National Herald. You know that the opposition party in India owns this. In fact, they took over vast reals estate property using their influence over this paper. The case in in the court and the top leaders are out on bail. News media is a business and unfortunately favors the party with more money. There are news media that favor the communists and the main opposition party too. At any rate, please dont cite national herald. Democracy means people’s will, which may not be our personal will. People elected this government twice consecutively. They feel hopeful that there would be positive changes in the country. Lastly, let’s try to overcome our pain body. We will have to do it some time for our own happiness.
