Chilling effects of protest and those relying on hearsay test

Chilling effects of protest and those relying on hearsay test

With newspaper of the day having noted Indian Meteorological Department's prediction going haywire in cold December, it was prudent to count the chilling effects of protest and their number. In the Hindi heartland mayhem was all over the place with protesters periodically taking respite from rage race. A day in the life of a protester is not easy to essay in a nation where the tools they employ is based on hearsay. The protester gets up by seven to eight in the morning with one hand holding the shower the other cell power. He is no mood to join the protest before noon, it is when the crowd would swell and croon. As he takes multiple cups of coffee he is inundated with the thought of not joining the protest as a jockey. He would prefer to walk all the way to protest zone as he wants to demonstrate that he is fighting fit and prepared to severe ties with the clone.

The protester takes his own sweet time to make calls some to roaming destinations which have seen series of brawls. As he gets ready to leave home having filled his belly with pone, the walk to the designated spot is intertwined with cell calls which apparently want to convey the nation is caught in a knot. Out in play are thousand people who have gathered to protest and they assure those in police attire that they would march for a while and then retire and in all likelihood keep protest away from violence wire. Some arsonists who have joined the fray start pelting stones with a ferocity that would shake those who have the tendency to repeatedly take ice cream cone. They torch a vehicle here and a bus there and in the end get dispersed by water canon which is not rare.

The opposition tries to reach out to protesters urging them to keep up the momentum not realising this open invitation and awkward stand can make them land in a place where there is excessive sand. The opposition should have given a clarion call to keep the protest peaceful and yet some opposition parties want the protester to carry the violence tool as was amply seen in Bihar State which no one could fool. The opposition is mandated to lend support to these protesters with the rider that peace has to prevail at any cost and they the protester should at no point of time be beast boss. Opposition parties have a larger role to play in ensuring that peace should be the in thing; the acts of arson and treason would be condemned by one and all in zing bing. As one is made to understand that Govt of the day and night would/might stand steadfast on CAA, diluting the NRC (National Register of Citizens) in toto would bring peace and douse fires ravaging in vicinity of area named Brea.

In these protests the UP State in India has been hardest hit and the large number that turned out to protest shows the rampant unemployment and enraged environment. The break in in Jamia University was unwarranted; the students of this prized institute should see to it that protests by and large remains peaceful and arson elements don't take centrestage and rule.

The Mumbai Protest showed in plenty how peace can be maintained even when thousands (over 20,000) turn up to show solidarity against CAA, this should be the thumb rule to be applied across country even by those drawing handsome DA (Dearness Allowance).

There are ads of weekly flights from city of Bengaluru to Amsterdam, the latter is one place where the computers have breathtaking RAM. In Amsterdam the traffic is by no means sombre, and climate is largely cold, the weather can turn freak with people unwilling to flaunt their Gold. In the name of protest and those wearing vest, some items would get stolen and this would be the shape of things as has happenned in literature largely defined as Roman.
