In a shocking display of insecurity, Congress, apparently rattled by a single tweet, saw fit to involve the Karnataka Police, demanding an outrageous 14 days of custody for @MumbaichaDon. That's right—14 days of incarceration for expressing an opinion online. Fortunately, the court demonstrated some semblance of rationality, granting only a 2-day remand. This overreaction by Congress not only raises serious questions about their tolerance for dissent but also sets a dangerous precedent for freedom of expression. On Tuesday, @MumbaichaDon will be back in court, where he will most likely be granted bail, but the chilling message sent by this incident cannot be overlooked.
