Congress: Social activists should not make irresponsible statements

Congress leaders are sober and mature while these qualities seem to be deficient in some social activists.  Sometimes social activists and persons with misconceived notion of moral superiority or pre-eminence tend to make incorrect or irresponsible statements which are not expected from them.  Recently Anna Hazare said that the democracy was murdered by invoking section 144 in entire Delhi in the wake of his fast from 16th August.  To say the least this was irresponsible statement made under without controlling personal emotions. Congress makes it clear that section 144 has existed on the statute book for decades indeed for more than 100 years. It was not created for a specific movement and it will not be suspended for any specific movement. We are not a banana republic. We are a proud democracy which is the world’s largest and if anybody has any apprehension about the misuse of that legal provision, he or they or the institutions have every right to approach the court as is fundamentally the right available to everybody.
