Midnight arrest of democracy

CNN-IBN has reported that kapil sibal said “ swami who teaches yoga asanas to the country shouldn't teach political asanas”  and the mid night arrest followed it… is it democratic?, well many have argued that by going on a fast one is actually holding the government for a ransom and is undemocratic… well now government has arrested and charged a person for rioting but actually he was peacefully protesting. Many of those who have looted the nation’s wealth remain free without any charge being framed against them but a person who is protesting peacefully and well with in his legal rights being charged with rioting is mockery of democracy.

Kapil sibal .. devil’s advocate

Well, regarding kapil sibal’s statement, when an Advocate like him can take up politics, why should not a yoga guru take up politics or does he not have the right hold a peaceful demonstration against the government which is in his opinion inefficient in tackling the corruption and black money issue. A Lawyer cum minister making such irresponsible statement is never a welcomed one at any point of time.
