Right to protest democratic system ka natural part hai. Log sarkar se disagree kar sakte hain, roads pe march kar sakte hain, slogans laga sakte hain. Lekin yeh right absolute nahi; doosre logon ke rights, traffic, safety, aur public order bhi matter karte hain.
Authorities permissions, routes, timing, sound limits, aur designated protest zones fix kar sakti hain. Violence, arson, road blockade for indefinite periods – yeh sab restrictions attract kar sakte hain.
Courts aksar kehte hain: State ka kaam dissent ko choke karna nahi, but manage karna hai. Blanket ban, internet shutdowns, ya indefinite section orders suspicious nazar se dekhe jaate hain.
Protest organisers ke liye best practice hai: conditions follow karo, written communication maintain karo, aur documentation rakho agar excess force ya illegal detention ho. Peaceful, disciplined protest ka moral aur legal strength dono zyada hota hai.
