In the bad old days of Stalinism, you were not allowed to have a thought. Thinking was done by the Party for you. Stalinism is alive and well in the Samajwadi Party. It expelled Shahid Siddiqui (while claiming he had never been admitted) for printing an interview with Narendra Modi. He has been made a non-person. What is the logic, if any? Is it that no Muslim should speak to Modi?
