Jammu & Kashmir live updates: GOI remove all provisions of Article 370

Idea of India is according to Constitution. The Supreme Court is the custodian. They will intervene if necessary, be its sabarimala or Kashmir.

“Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it.”
― Leo Tolstoy
It's the other way round. The constitution was created to represent the idea of India and it has been changed 100s of times by the representatives of the people of this country. Supreme Court's job is to interpret the constitution and deliver the verdict.

If people of this country want, anything and everything can be changed, whether it's the constitution or the Supreme Court itself. India is a democracy and in a democracy people's wish is supreme.

BTW, nothing is right or wrong. It's just one's interpretation.

Reactions: BlackOpsIndia

Looks like there's some substance in those allegations carried by some desi & international news agencies.
I would suggest to take these stories with a bag of salt. I am not saying the valley folks are supporting India. But the reputation of "The Print" speaks for itself.
 
Why reliance why not Tata? I know that reliance guys used to send message to congress when in power that not to fight with Pakistan as this hurts their business.

All will come. however. We have made Saudis party to our prosperity. Our Insurance Policy and the Saudi brothers pay for it...

THIS IS HOW ITS DONE DONAL TRUMP!!
 
PA has gone silent after all the bravado. What are they scared of? Why not attempt something against India now?
Could be the lull before the storm. PA survives on anti India rhetoric and if they don't do anything at all, they won't have any face to demand the disproportionate share of their national budget.

I would expect some kind of reaction just like Feb 27th. Anyway, you know their strategy better than me.

I have mentioned in previous posts times where you were wrongly/inaccurately attributing something to constitution. In this reply too you mentioned 'Right to question on any and every matter' as a right given by Constitution however this is very inaccurate.

Article 19(1)(a) says Every citizen has right to speech and freedom of expression. This is interpreted by SC as without information you cannot express yourself therefore 'Right to information' is a fundamental right, which became the basis of RTI ACT 2005.

Now When you read more Article 19 (2) -


Which provides the grounds where freedom of expression and RTI derived from it are subject to restrictions and you can not ask everything on every matter from government, that's not the right. Privileged information, confidential information and information detrimental to national security and law and order can not be obtained even when RTI is fundamental right.

And you don't need to be so touchy expressing your opinion when you think you are right. I get lot of angry people here when I criticize policy of Modiji, most of them making personal comments and not on topic, part of life, don't get demotivated by it.


I replied you point by point and your question is not a hard question, it's rhetoric.

There are 6 clauses in Article 19 which can be base to your question. Clause 2, clause 3, clause 4 and clause 5 hold answer to your question you have to read them in consonance with Clause 1 to get full picture otherwise you will keep repeating same mistake.


What you and @S.A.T.A are talking about are features of democracy and liberal principles and calling them rights granted by Constitution or GoI but it's not. Indian Constitution is very flexible and very pragmatic to ensure a nation of 1.25 billion works pragmatically and not get dragged into law suits of idealism.

Which is why I believe selecting part of the text, out of its context, and then constructing an argument over it is poor argument and poor way to argue. Article 19 holds the right to free speech and expression sacrosanct, while the subclause grants "reasonable restriction" on the exercise of this right. It must be duly noted that government doesn't to get to choose what this 'reasonable restrictions "would be. The learned judges have in the past spelled out precisely what would constitute reasonable restrictions and what wouldn't. This is why it is important to understand the" intent " of the provisions of the constitution, when deliberating on its application. In the light of the the past judgements that have come to pass on the 'right to express', if I were to say 'burn the constitution' or demand general slaughter of group of people, I happen to have difference of opinion with, courts would deem that I have not exercised my right in the spirit of the intent of the Constitutional provision (and hence falls within the ambit of reasonable restriction). On the other hand if I expressed with an intent to demand the elected government give an account of its decision to circumvent, what appears to be well known constitutional provisions, or set a new constitutional precedence, then neither the government nor the courts would deem it unreasonable. Now whether governments account of its action is reasonable or logical is entirely subjective and I won't be too hung up about it.

They are concentrating Terrorists in PoK and running air exercises. Seems like they want to push terrorists on a large scale and are already gaming a Balakot like strike and preparing for it. Read it in sync with basing aircraft at Skardu.

Looks like the third strike on Pak will have to be made by the Navy.
