There are hard liners in all societies. The hindus have the Bajrang Dal, RSS and the Ram Sene. Just to name a few.. Muslims have their own groups.. We cannot let them have their way in a civilized society. I did not see much coverage about the news of an American Muslim's events being cancelled in Chennai because of these hardliners. (except The Hindu which has been covering this last 2 days)
We had a movie release being stalled, we have had young couples being targeted in the name of moral policing and now this. Do we not have a right to express our views? This was supposed to be internal event within the premises of the University and the college. Why did the overzealous cops ask them to stop these events?
What is next, will they come inside my house and say I cannot say what I want to say inside my house because some one doesn't like what I say?
How many threats do our politicians get to their life? Do we ask them to not venture out or stop addressing public meetings? Don't we give them more protection every time there is such a threat? Shouldn't the cops be doing the same with Amina?
I personally do not know what views Amina endorses but we as a society are being dancing to the tunes of hardliners. It's time some action is taken.
