A current affair

The first page report on the “Muslim youth beaten up in Gurugram “ and the details on the nature of FIR filed is only a sample of what is likely to follow in several parts of this nation, especially in North India. This incident  stand testimony to many unpleasant incidents that are likely to happen due extreme happiness of the cadres of the ruling party over  the  high level success in the recently concluded National election. This is going to be the  “Inclusive India ‘’, a proclamation thundered into our ears in the last three days .Brutal strength in parliament  is dangerous in a democracy especially when the main opposition is reduced to a  week position . Hence, there is an urgent need to revive the Congress party. It is because, this age old party stands for , holistic democracy, Gandhian secularism  and federalism based national unity.  Their revival is the need of the hour since,we do not have any other National party with similar ideologies .These ideologies are meant for uniting the people and the states and not dividing. A strong opposition is good for the ruling party too, since it will check them during excesses committed due to arrogance of power and protect them from unpopularity wave during their term in office.

Is it true that, all the indian citizens are equal before law?

Several legal scholars, senior lawyers of the Supreme Court, eminent civil society members and leading newspaper editorials have been relentlessly articulating the various pitfalls and violations in every step related to the conduct of the case between an ordinary women employee of the Court and the Chief justice of India. They have been pointing out the violations in the procedures related to the   conduct of the enquiries conducted so far, only with the intention of safe guarding the prestige and credibility of our judicial system. From these sources the readers have been learning about the lack of level fielding opportunity between the two parties. The simple step the CJI can do is to keep himself away from all judicial functions till the verdict  is delivered in this case if, he is interested in safe guarding his image and that of the highest Court of this nation. What is the use of having so many women protection laws, when women with humble back rounds   approach the courts with sexual harassment complaints and that too, against persons with authority is treated with such unjust manner using every loop holes in the procedures? Is a supreme court chief justice above the law of this nation ?The protection of Judiciary’s credibility is more important than the protection of any individual’s image.
