An embarrassing stance - The Hindu

An embarrassing stance - The Hindu



MY letter addressed to The Hindu over this editorial - Dated March 27, 2015





Dear Sir,

Apropos your editorialAn embarrassing stance” –
The Hindu, March 27, 2015


While  many ,
including  myself would like to endorse
your criticism against the Indian Government’s stance in the UN over the
Russian sponsored vote against providing equal benefits to “Same Sex Couples” on
humanitarian grounds, I have one objection to raise over a sweeping claim that
you make and I quote:  “
 Indian
law has been marked by its commitment to full safeguards against the trampling
by majority groups of the rights of minority social groups”!
This claim definitely flies in the face of facts when one
considers the recent “BEEF BAN Act” that the Maharashtra Government managed to
promulgate after it was endorsed by the President of India, that too after a
lapse of nearly 20 years! And incidentally almost all the states that were ruled
by the BJP at one time or the other were also instrumental in passing similar
laws in their states when they were in power, as were even some NON-BJP ruled
states who did this,  showing ACROSS the
FULL POLITICAL SPECTRUM, a uniform disregard for the “RIGHTS of a LARGE SOCIAL
GROUP ( straddling over Muslims, Christians and Dalits)  over their FREEDOM of CHOICE of FOOD and
CULINARY habits! As such, one is forced to conclude that in India,
discrimination over Caste, Religion, Region and Language seems endemic, not
only at an INDIVIDUAL LEVEL but also at the level of even the STATE that is
supposed to be a Democratic, Socialist and Secular Republic!

ALL  around us, since the NEW DISPENSATION at the
centre has come, not only the so called FRINGE 
ELEMENTS belonging to the Sangh have become emboldened, but also the
State Governments ruled by the BJP too are announcing one DRACONIAN ANTI
-PEOPLE LAW or the other ( BEEF BAN and now this!)

This is
in line with the CREATION of an AUTOCRATIC ORWELLIAN SECURITY / POLICE STATE!
This LAW needs to be CHALLENGED through a PIL in the Supreme Court and defeated
as the SECTION - 66 A of the IT Law got revoked through a PIL by the Supreme
Court recently!

        The ‘greatness’ of a ‘landmark’ judgment- By PETER RONALD
DESOUZA- THE HINDU, MARCH 30, 2015



After many articles that openly eulogized the
Supreme Court bench that had recently struck down the section 66-A without
REALLY ANALYSING what TRULY was GREAT about the Judicial Order or why anybody
should be treating it as a LANDMARK JUDGMENT, one has now come across a
genuinely insightful article in The Hindu, by Peter Ronald deSouza “ The
‘greatness’ of a ‘landmark’ judgment”.
This article provides significant additional insight that
apart from the main judgment the additional observations/arguments that the
Bench of justices J Chelameswar&Rohinton F Nariman have appended to their main
Judicial Order striking down 66-A give us a “SOUND JURISPRUDENTIAL PRECEDENCE”!
This, the article rightly claims, will be helpful in taking
up Legal Battles against “ALL VAGUELY WORDED and CONFUSING/CONTRADICTORY
LEGISLATIONS” from any government as this judgment establishes that-“ It is
vagueness of operative words that must be disallowed because of its “chilling
effect ( of Section 66-a) on free speech”. Vague words are vehicles for state
tyranny. For freedom, precision is required”!
As such, author’s final conclusion that this judgment, ‘in
toto’,is both a “GREAT” as well as a “LANDMARK” JUDGMENT is truly the most
objective assessment of this judgment’s worth for all the citizens &
establishes once again that OUR HIGHER JUDICIARY especial SC Judges are best in
the World!

Mar 25 2015 : Mirror (Bangalore)
Maneka bats for cow urine to clean floor
NEW DELHI

A surface cleaner made from extracts of cow urine should be used in government offices instead of “chemically bad“ phenyl, union minister Maneka Gandhi has urged her colleagues in the council of ministers.
Gandhi has requested ministers to switch over to `Gaunyle' -cleaning liquid made from cow urine extracts, arguing that it “environmentfriendly“. “I would request you to replace phenyl, which is currently being used in your ministry and is chemically bad for environment, with Gaunyle,“ she said in the letter sent earlier this month.

Gandhi said the Kendriya Bhandar is now stocking the `Gaunyle'.

Phenyl is the cheap cleaning liquid which is widely used in government offices to clean floor and toilets. Gaunyle is being marketed by an NGO, Holy Cow Foundation. It is said to be environment friendly as it does not have a synthetic base like phenyl but is not as strong as the latter.



MY TAKE on this NEWS REPORT in the BANGALORE MIRROR, dated March 25, 2015
                          

                        FEW years back, a BIG HUE AND CRY was made when it appeared that Hema Malini  had RAISED QUESTIONS in RAJYA SABHA  over IMPLEMENTING a SCHEME for INSTALLATION of WATER PURIFIERS in Government Establishments since she was also simultaneously  ADVERTISING for a BRAND of WATER PURIFIERS then ( and she is still continuing to do so!), and then there was an accusation of a CONFLICT of INTEREST against her!
                       


                    Now we see that Maneka Gandhi, being a Minister, is openly ENDORSING a PRODUCT "Gaunyle," ( Purportedly a Floor Cleansing Agent made out of, hold your breath, - COW'S URINE and being marketed by an NGO, Holy Cow Foundation !)? Is there going to be a "SIMILAR HUE and CRY" over a CONFLICT of INTEREST on the PART of MANEKA GANDHI too like it was in the case of Hema Malini ( as mentioned above)?
                       
              However One is left wondering whether Madam Minister is FOLLOWING  a DIKTAT from ORGANISATION that treats COWS to be more IMPORTANT than HUMAN BEINGS or it is is her own INITIATIVE? But in either CASE, it appears that there  is a QUESTION of CONFLICT of INTEREST here?!

It
invades right to free speech, every expression used in it is nebulous’

Section 66A of the Information
Technology Act is unconstitutional in its entirety, the Supreme Court ruled on
Tuesday striking down a “draconian” provision that had led to the arrests of
many people for posting content deemed to be “allegedly objectionable” on the
Internet.
“It is clear that Section 66A
arbitrarily, excessively and disproportionately invades the right of free
speech and upsets the balance between such right and the reasonable
restrictions that may be imposed on such right,” said a Bench of Justices J.
Chelameswar and Rohinton F. Nariman. The definition of offences under the
provision was “open-ended and undefined”, it said.
The Bench turned down a plea to
strike down sections 69A and 79 of the Act, which deal with the procedure and
safeguards for blocking certain websites and exemption from liability of
intermediaries in certain cases, respectively.
In the judgment, the court said
the liberty of thought and expression was a cardinal value of paramount
significance under the Constitution. Three concepts fundamental in understanding
the reach of this right were discussion, advocacy and incitement. Discussion,
or even advocacy, of a particular cause, no matter how unpopular it was, was at
the heart of the right to free speech and it was only when such discussion or
advocacy reached the level of incitement that it could be curbed on the ground
of causing public disorder.
The court then went on to say
that Section 66A actually had no proximate connection with public order or with
incitement to commit an offence. “The information disseminated over the
Internet need not be information which ‘incites’ anybody at all. Written words
may be sent that may be purely in the realm of ‘discussion’ or ‘advocacy’ of a
‘particular point of view’. Further, the mere causing of annoyance,
inconvenience, danger, etc., or being grossly offensive or having a menacing
character are not offences under the [Indian] Penal Code at all,” the court
held.
Holding several terms used in
the law to define the contours of offences as “open-ended, undefined and
vague”, the court said: “Every expression used is nebulous in meaning. What may
be offensive to one may not be offensive to another. What may cause annoyance
or inconvenience to one may not cause annoyance or inconvenience to another.”
The court pointed out that a
penal law would be void on the grounds of vagueness if it failed to define the
criminal offence with sufficient definiteness. “Ordinary people should be able
to understand what conduct is prohibited and what is permitted. Also, those who
administer the law must know what offence has been committed so that arbitrary
and discriminatory enforcement of the law does not take place,” the court said.

SC rejects Centre’s plea


Striking down Section 66A of
the Information Technology Act as unconstitutional, the Supreme Court on
Tuesday rejected the Centre’s plea that it was committed to free speech and
would ensure that the provision was administered in a reasonable manner.
