Save Lakshadweep or Save Civil Order in Lakshadweep?

The whole social media campaign against these laws is one big irony. The administrator of Lakshadweep has not implemented any of these laws, he has put these laws in the public domain and has categorically asked for suggestions and feedback from the public at large. How’s the act of asking for feedback from the public even remotely undemocratic? In fact, it’s anything but that. The draft laws have been placed before the public is for them to review the laws and their clauses and to come back with constructive feedback and suggestions, this is exactly how a democracy is supposed to work.
