Public outrage can easily descend to mob vigilantism, some signs of which were seen in many furious responses to the Hyderabad incident. Turning a blind eye to incidents of public or police vigilantism is a sure and certain way of sounding the death-knell of a civilized democratic system of governance based on the rule of law.
The author emphasizes that the pursuit of public order is towards enabling us all to exercise our freedoms as engaged citizens. Achieving public order by suspending our freedoms — whether as a blanket communication shutdown or as a curfew order — defies logic.
