Kerala passes goonda act and the catch is...

The Kerala Cabinet decided to implement preventive detention of persons engaging in anti-social activities.

The Kerala Antisocial Activities (Prevention) Ordinance allows for a maximum detention of six months subject to a review within 21 days of the arrest.

What is the catch? Student activists, political activists, abkaris and trade union workers are exempted (that is almost the entire Kerala population!) - So in short, except goondas all are covered under the act :)
