India is going to vote in the most decisive election in its history in a couple of months from now. The issue of freedom of speech and the freedom of expression has to be at the center stage of all this in view of what's transpired in the last few years. Is Mr. Rahul Gandhi, on behalf of the Congress party willing to pledge unequivocally and in no uncertain terms that they would stand on the side of personal liberty and freedom? Are you going to promise that if you come to power, you are going to scrap the abominable vestige from the colonial era in the form of Sedition Law in this country? Are you going to demonstrate, not just by your words, but also by your deeds that, given the opportunity, you'll be different from Narendra Modi? We are waiting, and we are watching.
