Because it could create communal disharmony and doesn't actually provide any further court admissible evidence.

"Communal disharmony." A lovely term to justify a good old dose of authoritarianism or censorship, for 'the greater good' (or 'communal harmony' in this case).

It is. Communal disharmony could result in thousands of death and development rolled back massively. See what Lee Kuan Yew said about Sri Lanka.

Better instead to censor and crush dissent then?

If communal harmony is that fragile, it is not communal harmony.

So you agree that tax officials are being used to harass them for the documentary?

> it could create communal disharmony and doesn't actually provide any further court admissible evidence. I'll wait for these tax officials to raid OpIndia and SwarajyaMag's offices soon as well then.
