That is very concerning. I always chuckle to myself whenever I hear this “terrorist” pov thrown around. Like, okay? So many things are used by terrorists, let’s just ban them all! It’s like when a bill shows up in the US with the aim of “protecting children” (read: increasing surveillance and taking away your privacy)

Btw if you don’t mind me asking, which state are you from? I’m from the North and I’ve not heard of this till now. Would love to know. Stay safe out there man, India is going through a lot of shit right now.
