Prof Ali Khan's arrest shows all that is wrong with state, civil society: Rajdeep's take

The arrest of Ali Khan Mahmudabad shows up all that is wrong with the state and civil society. For the Haryana State Commission of Women to rush in to file a complaint on completely specious grounds was an affront to the concept of free speech.

For the Haryana Police to then arrest without due process is a brazen abuse of an individual's right to life at liberty. For Ashoka University to stay silent right through rather than stand by the professor reveals how fear can throttle liberal minds.
