Ruling Regime's Toolkit is a Perfect Storm of Oppression and Torment

During the Emergency, arresting was the regime's main tool, but now there are so many that one can't keep a count.

It is a strange period where anyone disagreeing with the government, be it 22 years old Disha Ravi or 83 years old Stan Swamy, is being declared 'dangerous' for the country! In the Emergency of 1975-77, opposition leaders and members were targetted. But now, every individual and organisation believing in the Constitution and democracy is a target. During Emergency, arresting was the regime's main tool, but now there are so many that one can't keep a count. The government turned ruthless and unconstitutional during the Emergency; at present, those in power are not just 'ruthless' and 'unconstitutional', they also hatefully look at people who disagree with them. In 'Aaj Ki Baat', Urmilesh explains the situation around the unconstitutional arrest of Disha Ravi in the 'toolkit' case and its implication.
