What makes you think they are?

People can be justifiably afraid of the government without doing anything wrong, especially if the government has a track record of abusing tools at its disposal, enforcing unjust laws, or failing to maintain a good balance of civil rights (such as to peaceful protest - not the same as rioting) needed in a healthy democracy.

I'll ask you the same question when the INC is the ruling party, if there's still a democracy to play around with at the time. It could be any party at the center - the result would be horrid.

I flagged this comment for being obtuse and accusing a person of a crime when they just want privacy.
