Signing such peace bonds is no less than signing away our democratic right to dissent,” the AISA national president said and claimed that she was detained within 10 minutes of protesting at Mandi House on October 16 and was told that she and other protesters were in breach of peace.“On one side, the Constitution gives us the right to dissent. On the other hand, such peace bonds are invoked only to detain people in the name of breach…
