Dirty Politics has never excited me but injustice always agitates me
I am shocked to hear about the atrocities inflicted on people who had assembled at Ramlila ground in Delhi to support Baba Ramdev in raising voice against corruption. This illogical and shameless act by the Government indicates that they have forgotten or are ignoring the ethics of Democracy and the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi. The display of brute power on the protestrs was no doubt a suicidal move by the government and they will face the music for the same.
After the shameful incident, wherein thousands of peaceful protestors including women and children were dragged and beaten up by lathi-wielding policemen, the series of event that's been following is non-stop political mud-slinging. Some have tagged this incident as a dirty political game planned by the opposition.
But in the midst of this blame-game we are missing out an important point. It might be a political game but was the abominous step taken by Congress a justifiable one? Can Congress justify it's act ? The answer is NO. Had it been so, the top Congress leaders would not have shunned the media. It makes me wonder what instigated the government to take this foolish step in the midnight on protestors and now they are not even taking the responsibility of reprehensible deed.
India is the largest Democracy and in a democratic nation , Voice of people is the Voice of God. We have every right to protest against any injustice and the Constitution guarantees that right to the Indian citizen. Then why did the Govert. act in such a tyrannical way? Why is the Govt. refusing the live telecast of the meetings of Lokpal Bill draft committee?

Moreover Baba Ramdev's protest is not to favor any political party in particular but it is for the sake of entire nation and its people. The Congress is now battling a storm of criticism but even Anna Hazare was denied permission at Jantar Mantar for undertaking a day-long fast to support RamDev ji. If the Governmet keeps imposing such limitations on democratic rights of people, the day is not far when dictatorship would prevail in the country but that's not a good news for the party in power; consequently your tyranny would lead to another freedom struggle.
Whatever might be the plot against the protest but the government has clearly proved what Baba Ramdev was trying to prove.
