While there is no definition of LWE, Maharashtra's new public security legislation seeks to allow state police to use LWE as a smokescreen to muzzle all dissent, I argue in Indian Express indianexpress.com/article/opinio…
Strange that parties which are at receiving end vis-a-vis BJP, adopt almost similar approach to exercise of power when in govt themselves. Craving to become big brother is perhaps part of being in power?

Vengefulness and meanness in current moment know no bounds. That's mistaken as toughness and strong leadership.
Moral of the story-- contribute to dishonouring of institutions, muzzle opposition from a constitutional position, be partisan despite expectations of non-partisan conduct, yet, you will get pushed into oblivion. That's new India's new democracy.
