I am glad you explained Ram. I was beginning to think that perhaps a new set of desi-demokrasy paradigms have been introduced, with MP s empowered to call for imprisonment of politically unpalatable people; this time all out in the open. > From the point of justice/law, it is of course, ridic

Just wanted to clarify So far, I have only talked about prison for MRG for being a "negotiator" as a bad option from the political angle. (assuming the MPs have the power to send anyone to prison if they wished). From the point of justice/law, it is of course, ridiculous for anyone to suggest

C'da, I seriously doubt if any MP with brains will put forward such a proposal (send her to prison because she was an "intermediary"). As far as the news itself, it is possible that some may be trying desperately to put some traction on the "peace talks". So, raising such a bogey, some may hope,
