Pretty interesting comment. Let me see a reputable source which backs up 'anti pm message arrest under national security act'. I googled those and found just one arrest in a state which said
> Asked why Shinde had been suspended, Sharma said, “He has not been suspended just for the message. In the past, too, complaints were received against him for favouring certain political party person and showing political inclination. The WhatsApp message he posted is one of the reasons why he has been suspended.” Asked what exactly did he mean by showing political inclination, Sharma said, “I won’t be able to give all the details. But the past complaints and WhatsApp message are the reasons he has been suspended.”
I mean, sure, everyone knows it is. But usually governments of democratic countries try to hide their intentions with some sort of reasonable-sounding excuse?
Haha 'one click away', I see nothing that proves your original comment, the burden of proof lay upon you (when the argument was active).
That's quite a jump to conclusion too. But whatever helps you sleep at night while accepting your bullshit narrative was openly called out and you made a fool of yourself. Must be hard spreading propaganda on internet forums. Have a good one. You may choose to reply to this comment but expect no further conversation. Peace :)
Flamewar and personal attacks are not allowed here, regardless of how wrong someone is or you feel they are. We ban accounts that do this, so could you please review the site rules and follow them? They're at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, and we'd be grateful.
Great point. I would happily follow the rules and I do.
Evidently though, the other person went ad-hominem with a very aggressive reddit-esque comment on a simple reply I gave. No one chimed in to flag that comment so I had to speak for myself. I just hope a moderator would have sprung into action sooner. That being said, it's nice you guys are making effort to keep the board clean from becoming `that`.
I'll just keep away from inciteful comments the next time. I really wish there was a report option here too.
Hey, sorry. My previous response was very rude. I immediately updated it to the current one. Does this also constitute under flamewar? (If so, I'm sorry)
It's not as bad. But it's still unnecessarily argumentative. A better spirit to post in is expressed in this old line of pg's: Comments should be written in the spirit of colleagues cooperating in good faith to figure out the truth about something, not politicians trying to ridicule and misrepresent the other side.
Try to find a point of connection between you and the person you're talking to. You don't need to say what it is explicitly; you just need to find it and feel it. Do that, and flamewar will magically be transformed into conversation.
If people in the chat want him suspended, I guess it is those people with the complaint making a recording/listing of the chats and then passing the evidence onto authorities.
There is nothing "automatic" about it. All such charges happen after off-line complaints in the police station by either party.
Rather if you would say, based on police complaints on violating Indian Penal Code, people are booked or arrested - that'll be a more reasonable statement - rather than coming out with blanket statements.
How convenient of you to selectively handpick few cases of opposition leaders while ignoring all those journalists who are jailed under Draconian laws for posting things govt didn't like.
I don't need lectures from BJP supporters about being biased. Except Indira's emergency, I don't remember journalists being jailed under NSA. get your facts straight from real media and not whatsapp forwards
P.s. this acc is made a few hrs ago. Obviously a fake acc
Forget about PM, Even state leaders are abusing this and getting opposition sympathizers arrested in India for a while.
This abuse is most common in State of Andhra Pradesh (Whose chief minister claims he invested IT and claims to have influenced Satya Nadella enter into software :) ).
This is false statement without no supporting source. This is the problem with social media. Someone posts fake news/propaganda and everyone starts believing or starts forwarding (whatsapp), which is causing Govts to take certain action against them/regulate them
Any Anti PM post gets the Whatsapp admin arrested under National Security Act!
Of course, there must be some stupid party supporter who probably had to file a case or something.
This will be worse as it'll be automatic as China MITM's everything
