WELL, THIS could be a warning for tweeple against taking too much freedom while writing about Judiciary. In a latest media report, a senior Journalist has been charged with ‘waging war against the nation’ for a tweet that reportedly criticised the Judiciary.

According to Indian Express, a Mumbai Court has directed the police to register a complaint against Nikhil Wagle for “waging war against the nation” among other charges, after a group of lawyers complained aginst the Journo for allegedly criticising the Judiciary on his micro-blogging site, twitter.

According to the newspaper, Wagle had tweeted: “If the state/ judiciary together attempts to curb democratic dissent will our constitution be safe? Or is it an open invitation to Naxalites?” When contacted, Wagle said, “I have not received any complaint yet.”

While the court has asked the police to probe the matter, the post is seen to draw comparisons between Anna Hazare’s fast and Bombay High Court’s observations. Earlier Union Human Resource Minister Kapil Sibal was criticised by tweeple and social scientist for his remarks that social media should be scrutinised for offensive comments.
