Lynching & Police encounter seem to have become the norm of the day and acceptable for the government and people . A worryingly development for a so called secular democracy. This is not fast track court nor exemplary justice . https://t.co/Mks5UnYBhY

There were others though, who were worried that this move was unconstitutional.
