Ansari in ‘rule of politics’ rap

New Delhi, Feb. 14: Vice-President Hamid Ansari today cautioned against any attempt at “homogenisation” of India’s pluralist society and undermining of individual liberties while asking the State to adhere to the rule of law instead of the “rule of politics”. He also argued against any understanding of internal security in terms of just law and order and the tendency to handle it with greater militarisation rather than addressing the vital concerns of livelihood, rights and culture.
