The arrest of two girls in Maharashtra for a Facebook post in which they criticised the closure of Mumbai over Bal Thackeray's death has become a national talking point. The event has outraged people all over the country who are now looking for answers from the state as well as the Central governments
The Mumbai police on Monday arrested a 21-year-old girl from Thane for questioning the total shutdown in the city for Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray's funeral on her Facebook account. Another girl who 'liked' the comment was also arrested. However, both the girls were later released on bail. The girl is believed to have written that there was no need to observe a bandh for Thackeray's funeral.
Enraged by the post on the social networking website, a mob of Shiv Sainiks had allegedly vandalised a hospital owned by the girl's uncle in Palghar and filed a complaint with the local police, who arrested the 21-year-old and her friend.
While the police faced flak for arresting the girls, Shiv Sena's Thane rural chief has defended the police action of arresting two girls for a Facebook post on late Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray. He has also said any comments against Bal Thackeray will not be tolerated. "Balasaheb Thackeray is our God. We will not tolerate any offensive comments against him. No Shiv Sainik and no Marathi Manoos will remain silent. The police knows who was behind the Facebook comment. The arrest is justified," Rural District Head, Shiv Sena, Thane, Prabhakar Raul, said.
We are living in a democracy, not a fascist dictatorship.
