Shiv Sainiks vandalise paintings in Hussain exhibition.
This couldn’t have been a surprise -the exhibition was initially suspended due to vandalism threats and opened only after additional security was provided.
I’ll make an exception from my usual distaste for such measures and propose a new law. One that will provide for immediate non-bailable arrest and expedited trials - with a mandatory jail term if found guilty - against those who commit violent acts infringing upon others’ freedom of expression . That would include all these acts that our moral police prides itself on - harassing lovers, vandalising art, burning theatres.
