Neha Bora refuses to sign peace bond, questions curbs on dissent
Questioning the rationale behind the notice, Bora asked, “Whose peace am I being asked to keep?”
All India Students Association (AISA) National President Neha Bora declined to sign a peace bond before a Special Executive Magistrate, challenging the rationale behind the notice issued by Delhi police. At a press conference in New Delhi, Bora questioned, "Whose peace am I being asked to keep?" The police notice, issued on October 17 under Section 126 of the BNSS, demanded Bora appear before a SEM on October 19 to explain why she should not be required to post a personal bond of ₹10,000 with one surety for maintaining peace during an inquiry.
Bora argued that peaceful protests and the right to express dissent are fundamental aspects of democracy, stating that the fight to impeach Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar should not be undermined by labeling opposition as a threat to peace. The case was dismissed by the Delhi High Court, but the police notice remains in effect.
