Everyone must be aware about the recent arrest of the two girls pertaining to a post which one of the girls made regarding the Bandh called on account of Bal Thackery's demise. 21-year-old Palghar resident Shaheen Dhadha posted a Facebook update on Sunday stating the bandh to be inappropriate for the city. Never did she imagined that this post would lead to her arrest along with her friend who liked the post. Since then, there is a lot of speculation in the media regarding the arrest and that the police modified the sections under which the girls were arrested. This has also led to quite a rage amongst the masses and people all over have shown their agitation against the arrests. The question here arises whether India is really a free country, do we have the right to freedom of speech? Are we free to express our opinions in a society without the fear of being criticized or terrorized?
Though the girls were released on bail after paying an amount of INR 15000, the damage had been done and it cannot be healed. We can only hope that proper justice is done to the girls and all necessary actions are carried out soon.
