I was rather shocked to see in the days just passed when a criminal wanted for anti national and cold blooded murder of innocents was treated with utmost respect and Kerala rulers seeking his permission to arrest him.Police was made to wait for days together when the wanted criminal might have been negotiating with rulers of the land to find out an escape route for him with their assistance and guidance.If such a course of action is possible for criminals with support from political leadership,what can be the fate of our democracy and democratic and constitutional institutions?
Our forefathers who have sacrificed their lives for freedom of India must have turned restless and angry in their graves when they saw that money power can buy anything in our country.Nobody bothers about source of that money.As long as you have ill gotten or otherwise money in plenty you can buy rulers,political leadership,officials,lawyers of the highest caliber and experience and may be any one who can take decisions.
Patriotism and refusing favours given for illegal actions have become extremely old fashioned.All political leaders cry that this man was in jail for 9 years and finally let off free.Our judicial system allows culprits to escape as it is based on the assumption that even if guilty are not punished,suspected guilty should be let free.Just because this man was let out in the earlier case,does it bring back to life 58 innocents torched to death in the bomb blast?Have they killed themselves bringing bombs and blasting it at a place? Who killed them? If nobody was punished does it mean that heinous act of killing was not a crime?
I do not understand why such a person should be given all these extra importance and reverence.Once let off from a crime,any criminal will try to repeat the crime this time with more precautions to escape punishment.What if he has the law enforcing authority willing to do anything to hide and save him come what may?
This is exactly what is happening in Kerala.Both opposition and ruling party is contesting each other to give extra care , protection and chances to escape punishment to those who arrange killings and anti national activities.All they need is money and votes in election.For that they will do anything.I hope at least Karnataka will have more honest police officials ,politicians and other judicial services
