I read this news article You enjoy freedom of expression only because army guards borders: Delhi HC to Kanhaiya Kumar and was wondering if Sunny Deol was a judge in Delhi High Court.
'You enjoy freedom of expression only because army guards borders'
Sure. That logic can be applied to any situation -
The lawyers who beat people in court premises - enjoy their freedom to beat others - because army guards borders.
Netas can freely do corruption - because army guards borders.
People can burn buses and demand reservation - because army guards borders.
See - how rediculous it sounds?
These days there seems to be a tendency among people to connect each and every event with Army and Jawans. Why is there a need to bring in army in any argument is beond me. Army does not give us freedom, the constitution does. Army plays a vital role, but my freedom does not come from army. In fact, Gandhi helped us win freedom, without an army! Even if we lived in a state where army lost wars (in which case I hope everyone who can, joins army) we would still have freedom of expression. Sure, we will then have to fight for it much *much* harder (lazily posting on facebook or writing blogposts is not enough), but we will still have it.
People often say - don't say anything that may demoralize army personnel. Well - is there a *need* to say anything? Our newspapers are depressing enough already. I salute all jawans who read our newspapers and don't get demoralized as it is.
