About ban on Salman Rushdie’s book/person

Now Deoband demands ban on Video Conferencing with Salman Rushdie

BAN freedom of speech, BAN books, BAN pictures, BAN alcohol, BAN Surya namaskar, BAN Salman Rushdie, We’re turning into a Nation of BANch*ds

India was the first country in the world to ban Salman Rushdie’s The Satanic Verses. It’s not enough, eh? Now, ban the man. Retards.

Read, and if you agree sign this petition to PM: Reconsider the ban on Salman Rushdie’s ‘The Satanic Verses’ : chn.ge/A2EaE4

1.Satanic Verses ban My thoughts subject to verification by a lawyer

2.The ban order was issued by Finance Ministry of GOI in Oct 1988 under Sec 11 of Indian Customs Act

3. This Sec empowers GOI to ban import of material that could endanger national security or public order

4.What the order banned was import into India of copies of Satanic Verses printed and published abroad

5.My searches do not indicate there was a supplementary order banning its printing, publication sale , possession in India,

6.If my finding is correct, reading of extracts from the book may not be an offence/FINI

We R all assuming there is a total, comprehensive ban on Satanic Verses.This does not seem to be correct.The order is probably only partial

First step is a public interest petition before a court challenging legality of FIR against those who read extracts.

Instead of thinking of esoteric, hairsplitting arguments,think of a simple way of preventing arrests,I have suggested one way @BDUTT
