Your expression peaceful does not go well with 'agitation'. It should be peaceful demonstration . Rapid action force is the appropriate as suggested not soldiers. Intelligence gathering before sanctioning or permitting these rallies and responsible monitoring in plan as well as live situation. Force must be ready with defensive quipment like water guns, riot gear worn uniformed people ,shields ,batons, Taser batons,guns ,pistols and finally armored vehicles trail,along the rallies . The officer in charge must be entrusted with full power to decide on harsh action. A number of vehicles to Accomodate about 10%of the population taking part in peaceful rally must be made ready to preempt delay .That must be kept in waiting nearby. Drones cameras, helicopters ,listening devices in Inteligence agents inside the crowd will give adequate time for appropriate reaction. Conviction dates are low and delayed ,most of the times the cases are with drawn making the people immune to fear as they know the out come. Vandalism must be punished with impunity and financial measures like fine ,jail ,attachment of property must be vastly implemented. more

Liberties of Profession, Expression AND Social Share cannot go hand in hand if found doubtful or unreasonable. Governments shall solve before one take Judicial preference under article 19 [1]. Consensus in Historical, Cultural and Regional Heritage do not allow diversion or mislead . In such issues Acute orders some times lead to massive attempts and may lead to rigorous situation. Even the issue of Reservations in 1989 etc., and, the recent of jatts of 2016 prove serious damages and losses . more

Absolutely the problem is politics with National interests. Quench one protest ruthlessly and any agitation against it, the divisive elements will bow down. No politics with the nation or the citizens! Central government seems backbone less to me. more
