Today I came across a news item about the murder convict Manu Sharma out on parole, but found enjoying in a night club.
The other news which has interested me since last few days is the arrest and interogation of erstwhile CM of Jharkhand Madhu Koda on his disproportionate assets case.I was aghast at the news of the amount of money he has embezzled.
Then another news item which I found indirectly has a bearing on the previous two news items, is the drastic efforts taken up by our esteemed home minister in trying to bring militancy under control.
Don't you think all the three news items are inter related?If the law and justice becomes a play thing in the hands of the rich and the mighty,what hope is there for the common man?
Would my son be set free to cool his iinsatiable hunger for night life,if he was a murder convict?No.Rather for him the delivery of justice will be so fast that he wont live to see any mercy appeal.As had happened with a watchman in bengal who had been accused of raping and murdering a minor of that building.
Would I be allowed to stack away my ill gotten black money, and to reach the opposition in the assembly, before being apprehended.No , 'cause I don't have the power nor the price to buy justice.
What message are we sending to the common man?
Are all the developments of a hitech India only required in the metros, or big cities?Don't we living in small towns require good concrete roads, superfast trains, airports ,telecommunication, good well equipped hospitals, good schools.quick delivery of justice ,proper policing etc?
Why are there honour killings in small towns, why are women still being annihilated in the garb of witchcraft?
Are we not paying taxes?
You will be surprised to hear that in places that I have worked, my relatives were reluctant to come 'cause of the absence of the above. I had to stay throught in small towns 'cause limestone is available in small places,where cement factories are set up.
I am not being selfish. Its not because I have suffered ,but I'm just giving an example to prove my point. If you are deprived of your right, some may recoil and bear it with a heavy heart ,but there are some who have seen the suffering, and these are the people who rise up in arms. I'm not justifying militancy, but I 'm trying to say that if the government delivers impartially and in all directions there will not be a hurry in an aftermath of maoist attack to rehabilitate the states tribals or its small town dwellers.
Am I right?
