The Supreme Court order on Arnab Goswami does nothing if the same concern is not extended in the case of hundreds of citizens who have been jailed under various politically motivated cases.

The Supreme Court’s decision to grant interim bail to Republic TV’s Arnab Goswami has led to sharp reactions. Among people who identify themselves as liberals, there are three broad strands of thinking. First, there are those who feel that Goswami should not have been given bail in the first place. Second, those who have taken a ‘principled stand’, and standing unconditionally in favour of the decision. Third, there are those who are not opposed to the decision of giving bail per se, but are concerned about the Supreme Court’s selective approach. I tend to agree with the third.

The first group, who are critical of granting bail to Goswami, have rightly pointed out that the case for which he has been arrested has nothing to do with freedom of expression; it is an abetment to suicide case under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code. While technically correct, this argument completely ignores the larger context of the arrest: the ongoing proxy-war between the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Shiv Sena, Nationalist Congress Party and Congress-led government in Maharashtra. By that logic, many politically motivated cases against several activists can be justified based on technicalities while ignoring ‘the big picture’.
