From Rohith Vemula to Kanhaiya Kumar to NIT Srinagar, all it takes is a fiery speech and few slogans to label students "anti-national" and slap them with sedition charges. But what happens when the leading party's ally and self-styled nationalist Aaditya Thackeray starts asking uncomfortable questions about free speech and Bharat Mata?
The Yuva Sena chief, in response to Twitter trolls, attacked the government for its "nationalism of convenience", and its doublespeak on Jammu and Kashmir. Will he too face punishment?
