Letters to the Editor
The attack on the house of Kumar Ketkar, Editor of Loksatta, by activists of the Shivsangram Sangathan is condemnable. They should be dealt with severely and the punishment given to them should send the message that such violence will not be tolerated. Freedom of speech and expression is a fundamental right which cannot be denied to us by hooligans. The police should show no hesitation in arresting those responsible for the attack in Thane. Aniket Singh, Mohali Attacks on journalists and newspaper offices have increased across the country in recent times. This is a disastrous trend which should be condemned by all. Those responsible for such attacks cause enormous damage to the democratic spirit of our nation. G. Parashuramrao, Karimnagar Double dealing on the part of law-enforcers is what emboldens sundry groups such as the Shivsangram Sangathan to indulge in acts of vandalism with impunity. As long as our political class continues to pay only lip service to freedom of speech and expression, this constitutional guarantee will get thwarted by any number of groups that manage to get some or the other political party’s patronage. The solution to this rapidly spreading malaise lies in our police force being liberated from its political masters. Shahabuddin Nadeem, Bangalore
