Binayak Sen's wife may seek political asylum

[KS]

Strictly speaking, he doesn't support Naxalites, but the cause. He disapproves however the violent acts of Naxals. Once again, one can support an ideology but he isn't guilty as long as he is actively helping the banned org to carry out their activities. Here's you're putting Binayak in a same group with those who blow up trains etc, which I think is wrong.I can agree to some things Naxals say and disapprove in some, but that doesn't make guilty of their action.

Abir, there is no distinct,hard line between supporting an idealogy and supporting those who profess that idealogy. In testing times like these, the lines are trangressed more often than the number of trees in Bastar forest.

And it is that precisely that should be destroyed. My personal opinion, it is these intellectuals like Dr.Sen, Vara Vara Rao who in a way romanticise the power hungry monsters the Maoists are today as some kind of Robin Hoods who fight for social equality that I find more dangerous than the Maoists themselves.

Forget everything, even according to the special law of Chattisgar he should get at max 2-3 years of jail term, not life time.

Now thats news to me. Can you provide me the relevant provisions while I try to look it up for myself.

He is talking about the India Social Institute which was mistaken by the prosecutor & the police to be the infamous ISI

Oops my bad !. Thanks for pointing.

But doing good once should not give immunity in case he is sympathising with a banned terrorist group.

Yeah, that is one and there is another ISI; the Indian Statistical Institute started by Dr. P.C. Mahalonobis in 1931 which was invested with the status of a National Institute by GoI in 1959.
BTW, Dr. Mahalonobis was the 'father' of the 5 year plan system in India.
And there is still another; the Indian Standards Institution which gives the famous ISI 'dhobi-mark' on domestic appliances.
Now if the 'learned' prosecutor and the 'particularly inept' Darogas of the Chattisgarh Police don't know the difference between one and the other, then i must
Undoubtedly Binayak Sen must have 'Maoist' sympathies, the question is- to what extent? The information available is too "fuzzy" to answer that clearly yet. Did he supply money to them ? Or weapons and explosives? No clear answers yet.

So far only talk about carrying letters- sentenced to Life imprisonment.
Instead he should have done a "hit and run"- sentence 2 years.
Or raped somebody- sentence 7 years.

Time to pause and think; have we heard everything yet?
