Urban Naxal Bogey: Move for Harsher Bill to Curb Civil Rights? https://thewire.in/politics/urban-naxal-bogey-move-for-harsher-bill-to-curb-civil-rights P. Raman   The Maharashtra Special Public Security Bill, 2024, iis seen as an attempt to test waters....many of its provisions can be misused against activists, protesters and opponents. ..

 For the BJP, “urban Naxal” means almost everything anti-BJP. The term “anti-national” has a limited reach and application but “urban Naxal” can be used to target political parties, intellectuals, atheists, those who criticise patriarchy, feminist groups, trade unions, slum groups, lawyers, farmers’ movements, journalists and those NGOs that are championing the causes of the oppressed classes. It can cover anyone critical of the establishment.

The left-wing extremist groups have over the years felt the need to establish units of intellectuals, students and youth.  In the late 1960s and the 1970s, when the Naxalite movement began taking root in the rural interiors, it also influenced sections of the urban youth. There was violence in Kolkata and in several universities. A parallel media popular among sections of youths and intellectuals emerged in English and the regional languages. Youth musical squads spiritedly sang songs like ‘Amar baadi, tomaar baadi, Maor baadi Naxal baadi (My house, your house, Mao’s house, Naxalbari)’.

 आपातकाल के नाम पर कब तक करेगी बीजेपी अपना बचाव? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9q8YLmkn5U Ravish Kumar Official Dec 13, 2024
मोदी दौर के दस साल के कार्यकाल में संवैधानिक मर्यादाओं का कितनी बार उल्लंघन हुआ। कितनी बार अदालतों ने केंद्र सरकार के फ़ैसलों को असंवैधानिक बताया और आदेशों को ख़ारिज किया। संवैधानिक मूल्यों का दमन हुआ, नागरिकों के अधिकारों को कुचला गया। फिर भी अपने भाषण में आज राजनाथ सिंह आपातकाल की बात करते रहे। क्या संविधान पर होने वाली बहस आपातकाल से शुरू होकर वहीं ख़त्म हो जाएगी या मौजूदा समय में उठने वाले सवालों पर भी कभी बात होगी
How many times constitutional norms were violated during the ten-year tenure of Modi era. How many times the courts declared the decisions of the central government unconstitutional and rejected the orders. Constitutional values ​​were suppressed, the rights of citizens were crushed. Yet in his speech today Rajnath Singh kept talking about the Emergency. Will the debate on the Constitution start with the Emergency and end there or will the questions arising in the present time also be discussed.
