The recent arrests of reporters, journalists and cartoonists against write-ups, cartoon etc. point towards the intolerance of the government against criticism. This is completely negation of the right of people in a democracy to express their opinion against the policies of the government.

The latest case in the arrest of Assem Trivedi cartoonist by the Mumbai Police for a cartoon depicting  the coal gate scam exhibited at the Mumbai Maidan at the time of fast by Anna Hazare.

All democracy loving people should protest against this attack on the freedom of people to express their rightful opinion.
