There’s something special and energetic in ‘freedom’ or maybe the ‘idea of freedom’ or the feeling itself is reminiscent of liberation, happiness and thus excites us. It rushes our minds with ideas that may be reverberating in our minds for reasons unspecified. Restraining such ideas is a recipe for outrage which is manifested through aggression or non-violence depending on the social and ideological background of individuals. Today, it's not uncommon to come across the urban-elite gentry on television, who are complaining of feeling suffocated, restrained because of imaginary restrictions imposed by the incumbent government to thwart their attempts of expressing free will. However, if we observe closely the problem is acute only among a minuscule section of the population who have been allegedly gagged by the government in their opinion. The only twist is, such an outlandish scenario is usually put-forth by such victims among the general population through different mediums of communication which looks odd as well as mischievous.
One major drawback of human psychology is whenever he/she gets something or anything in abundance they misuse it or worse waste it. ‘Freedom of speech’, a fundamental right ensured by the Constitution is one such right. While on one hand, the scores of Congress bailed-out leaders complained of such lack of freedom in front of cameras and through different other social mediums, on the other hand, their colleagues stretch the same freedom to openly smudge the country and an elected PM in an enemy country which has open hostilities with us. The second group that is baffled by the lack of freedom today are our left-liberals comprising of few media journalists, academicians and their follower students (useful idiots) in selected colleges. Their intellectuals(Arundhati Roy, Teesta Setalvad, Prashant Bhushan, Yogendra Yadav, etc.) openly support secessionist activities on SM, while foot-soldiers visit campuses to overtly challenge the writ of the constitution. All is done blatantly in the name of FOE which according to these traitors is actually missing.
Truth is these lumpen elements of society who were free-riders have never been questioned for their nefarious anti-India and more specifically anti-Hindu activities for the last 70 years. Today their grudge with the government is, they seem to have been at the receiving end both academically, intellectually, politically as well on the streets where communist-Muslim mobs are no longer in a position to unleash violence and halt the administration as it once was. These Congress-Leftist entities and individuals care two hoots about India. Their only grouse is the declining hold on society and the lack of privileges they are accustomed to. The blabbering of Mr. Aiyar in Pakistan against India where he put the onus of securing secular certificate on Indian government by ensuring a good relationship with Pakistan is the lunacy of gigantic proportion or Shashi Tharoor who applauded the resolutions in the US Congress against India are branches of the same tree. The communal outburst of Aishe Ghosh on Jamia campus clearly outlines the agenda of the syndicate which is to see India struggling, confined to flames of secessionist activities and not a united strong country.
The protests and dharnas aren’t new to democracy but are an inherent part of vivacious, lively and brisking consciousness of society. The citizenry has the fundamental right to protest against government policies but in the same manner, it also underlines the view that the government is open to facing dissent provided the dissent shouldn’t turn violent. Thus the question of lack of freedom or gagging problems that led to chest-beating goes out of the window and can be viewed in the context of last-ditch attempts by few to remain relevant in the present political scene of the country. Thus, it is not difficult to envisage the people behind the sinister attempts to foment trouble in the country who wanted to keep the pot boiling till the government commits a mistake on whom they can capitalize politically.
