Varun Gandhi was thrown in jail for his "hate speech" , under the National Security Act. If it proven that he had indeed made such a speech then it certainly deserves all the condemnation and punishment.
But, in the same country, in the same paeriod, Sajjad Lone, the leader of the J&K People's conference, a separatist movement, is fighting the ensuing elections , on separatist plank. In other words, he is turning the election in the constituency, into a virtual referendum exercise in favour of separatism. His outward position is "I will contest polls with a commitment to use this mechanism as a method to represent the voice of the Kashmiri people and to take the strength and merits of our aspirations to the central stage of India". Clearly directed at the lawmakers to ensure that no law can be explicitly used against him for doing this. No NSA. Nothing.
The most shocking part is - there is not a word of condemnation from the Congress-led UPA Govt to this. You and I know how any other country in Asia would have reacted to such a person who openly espouses separatism.
Nor is there any "opinion" or "analysis" from the Pseudo-secular media, other than the customary "matter of fact" reporting.
But then, this is a Democratic India. God help Bharat Mata!!!
