We, the Citizens of India, strongly condemn the terror tactics and vandalism being displayed by Party ‘Leaders’ of the ruling alliance in the Maharashtra.
We accept that these people lack the intellectual ability to engage in dialogue and discussion with opposing views and opinions and also lack the ability and appreciation of humour and satire, we sympathise with their limitations and volunteer to educate them if they have the ability and will.
We condemn the terror tactics displayed by members of the Shinde Sena who displayed their ‘bravery’ by vandalising property of a private hotel used by Kunal Kamra to shoot one of his shows in which he referred to the betrayal by DCM Shinde in his lust for power.
The Constitution of India guarantees every citizen’s right to freedom of speech and opinion. No ‘Law Abiding’ citizen has the right to take the law in his or her own hands and indulge in vandalism. This is an act of Urban Terror.
We, Law abiding Mumbaikars urge the CM, who has been broadcasting his resolve to use bulldozer to ‘punish’ people he accuses of rioting and who is pushing through a draconian law to ‘punish those he brands ‘Urban Naxals’ in Maharashtra, to act promptly and punish members of his ally’s party who are acting as urban terrorists, destroying private property and terrorising and intimidating honestly law abiding citizens.
We the Citizens of India also urge the Police Commissioner to promptly take action against these Urban Terrorists of the ruling alliance in Maharashtra who have taken the law in their own hands and are indulging in terrorising citizens and vandalising private property, we would like to remind the Police that they have taken an oath to serve the constitution and protect citizens, not to obey and serve the Government in power.
We, the honestly law-abiding Mumbaikars and law abiding Citizens of India, stand in solidarity with Kunal Kamra and condemn the heinous attempt to smother his Constitution given right to opinion.
