On November 8th 2022, the ‘Jan Hastakshep’ forum organised a seminar titled ‘Undermining Institutions - A threat to democracy’ . 

Eminent speakers like Justice Anjana Prakash, Saba Naqvi  expressed grave concerns over the draconian laws, used to put down the struggles of the labouring masses and the manner in which the law enforcement have been taking down students, academicians, political and human rights activists, artists, Dalits, Muslims and tribal people. 

Teesta Setalvad addressed the seminar remotely and brought out the many ways in which hate speech is being spread and condoned in the society. She spoke about the subversive attempts to perpetrate hate speech and how these actions render our constitutional rights hollow.
