The Congress never ceases trying to censor the outflow of information. After the Mumbai attacks it shamelessly tried to bring a bill to stop live television coverage of such events but failed, presumably because some politicians own news channels and opposed the measure. Earlier it had tried to censor the press but backed down against massed opposition. It seems that it managed to pass a bill in December which would give it powers to censor content on websites including news items, articles, advertisements and blogs. The censorship will come under six headings namely interest of sovereignty or integrity of India, defence of India, security of the state, friendly relations with foreign states, public order or incitement to commit any cognizable offence relating to other five reasons. For a party which is full of genuflecting, foot licking, invertebrate chamchas any criticism of the Family could be construed as being against the integrity of India. Democracy is not just winning a chance to loot the exchequer every five years but ensuring true freedom for the people and no freedom is more important than freedom of speech. India is surrounded by countries which fiercely censor the web including China and Iran and there is no internet in Burma. Seems like we are going down that road. How much longer before people are arrested or beaten for what they have written and how much longer before an Indian is begging for political asylum in a foreign country? Loot and shoot.
