Do not create chaos over nationalism

Let nation stay warned, do not create chaos over nationalism.

This is playing with fire. It will get out of control and will harm the entire nation.

Get the facts right.

- No one is allowed to shout anti nation slogans or slogans about nation disintegration. That is not freedom of expression. That is anti nation activity but it must be stopped by due process of law. Government must handle this carefully so that wrong is stopped without any curb on freedom of expression. There should be well defined law, effective intelligence and police with speedy judiciary to completely stop anti nation activity.

- Violence of any nature be it physical violence or giving threat directly or on social media is absolutely wrong and this too must be stopped by due process of law.

- The young girl has expressed her feelings. There is nothing wrong in her feelings. Violence and abuse of all kinds must be stopped. She has done right and brave and must be honored for this. Those, especially some so called big names, mocking her must understand whom they are talking about. Her father made ultimate sacrifice for the nation. We must honor him and his family even if there is some difference in point of views. Nation is proud of her father's sacrifice. She must be treated like a child of Martyr. Nation is always in debt of Martyrs.

- Agreed that war is not good. India has never posed threat to any nation. It is our neighbor nation which wrongly occupied our land. War was imposed on us. We fought back rightly. Nation knows how to protect self. India has never been aggressor. In fact we have tolerated more than enough nonsense of neighboring nations. We could have taken revenge but have always upheld spirit of humanity. Neighbors must honor this to be in peace.

- Freedom of expression is there. All are allowed to express views, share opinions, hold seminars, stage protest and demonstrations. But we all must have self discipline not to take this for granted and do anything against national interest. Other side must also not indulge in violence or abuse even if they claim to be stopping anti national activity. Express and oppose let both be disciplined and peaceful.

Is this not what Mahatma Gandhi taught us ???
