Well, the coin has two sides. There are some who feel that freedom of speech provides them the license to undermine the importance of the Constitutional bodies. Let's not ignore the fact that it's nothing short of foolhardiness to downplay age-old beliefs and customs. Sadly, we are living in an age when modern icons are little ashamed in creating controversies to hog the limelight, to survive in cut throat competition. It's not very difficult to guess why we find likes of Mahesh Bhatt, Khusboo and Raakhi Sawant entangled in choicest controversies so often.
Just look at the way Arundhati Roy and Medha Patekar are arguing in the favour of clemency for one who has committed the crime of gravest nature. They forget that tears of Ganga Devi and Jayawati, the widows of soldiers killed in the Parliament attack, hold greater value than life of Afzal.
Going by writings of Arundhati Roy, it appears that the SC has committed a fatal mistake by punishing Afzal - the man who dared to deflower the most sacred symbol of democracy. It's sad and unfortunate that democracies across the world have been held hostage by such shallow beings , who dare to be the guardian spirit of blood-suckers and devilish minds.
Ironically, call it accident or destiny they enjoy the tactical support of Western powers, which provide them the tag of celebrity. So they think that they have the authority to crush the sane voices or, for that matter, make a mockery of the respectable institutions with impunity. No wonder she deserves a harsh punishment for her extra-constitutional confessions along with her tribe including Farooq Abdullah.
