RESOLUTION<\/p>\n
STOP THIS TYPHOON OF \u2018MOBOCRACY\u2019
\nWe the citizens of Ahmedabad-Gujarat severely condemn the attack by Mobocracy on Sh. Swami Agnivesh. The concern of the common citizens is growing over rise in \u2018Mobocracy\u2019
\ninstead of Democracy in our country. The \u2018mobs\u2019 are creating havoc under different pretexts and taking law in their own hands, whether in the name of Cow slaughter, fear psychosis of child trafficking gangs or because of the difference in opinions. There seems total absence of \u2018Rule of Law\u2019 or \u2018Government\u2019 in the entire country.
\nWhen the common people are toiling under severe price rise, increasing unemployment, difficulty in access to basic facilities like education and health, etc. these \u2018Mobocracy\u2019 is adding to their woes. It is shocking that when on one side The Supreme Court of India is warning the Central Government over this mobocracy, on the other side, simultaneously, a \u2018Saffron\u2019 mob attacks Swami Agnivesh in Jharkhand.<\/p>\n
In democracy, it is the responsibility of the ruling class to create awareness and atmosphere for educated and well informed consensus. The obligation should be shared by the fourth estate i.e. Media also. It is the call of the hour to say \u2018NO\u2019 to the factory of fake information in the form of Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter and other social media.
\nIt is also the call of the hour for the common citizens of the country to say \u2018NO\u2019 to the overt and covert involvement of the ruling party in such \u2018Mobocracy\u2019.
\nIt is also imperative on the civil society to stay vigilant so that this \u2018Mobocracy\u2019 do not creep deep into our social life and become the order of the day.
\nWe the citizens of Ahmedabad-Gujarat condemn such \u2018Savagery\u201d of \u2018Mobocracy\u2019; the overt and covert involvement of the ruling party and demand stringent exemplary punishment to the culprits.
