Today, the Hon'ble SC has made important observations. The Court's observations should make the perpetrators of emergency, the assaulters of free speech and tramplers of media freedom- the Congress Party - introspect and change their style of functioning.

Regarding the bogus FIRs filed to trouble Arnab Goswami, SC recognised yet again the journalist’s right to free speech and quashed multiple FIRs. It stated ‘India’s freedom will rest safe as long as journalist can speak to power without being chilled by a threat of reprisal.’

The SC cited it’s disapproval of different complainants attempting to stifle the media’s right to free speech when they criticised the Congress Party. It stated ‘Free citizens cannot exist when the news media is chained to adhere to one position.’

Quoting Yuval Harari, the SC stated that ‘Questions you cannot answer are usually far better for you than answers you cannot question.’

There is a strong message to the Congress in the above quote. The Congress should shed its Emergency mindset and respect democratic ideals.

The COVID-19 situation in Maharashtra is worrying and I hope the Congress devotes it energies towards curing people rather than silencing journalists.

The people of India are watching the misadventures of the Congress and will keep punishing them for its highhandedness.
