Can’t you see I am busy!” “Shouting slogans to arrest an author?” “Yes!” “Why don’t you arrest some of your own who with inflammatory speeches have slowly but steadily destroyed the nation?” “You can’t!” “Why sir?” “Because the people will get angry!” “Which people?”

Because you will burn buses, stone taxis and injure commuters?” “Yes!” “And why can’t you shout for the arrest of those people who make their followers leave a state by calling them ‘outsiders’?”
“You can’t because…” “You will burn buses, stone taxis and injure commuters isn’t it?” “Yes!” “And this poor author?” “Has to be arrested! Arrest her! Arrest the author! Arrest her for making speeches against the nation!”
