WE ARE THE LAW! Right from Pehlu Khan who was lynched for the rumor that he had beef in his fridge, to today' s Alwar lynching of Rakbar Khan, the Gau Rakshas and murderous mobs with State benevolence and police brutality in compliance, has been increasing with impunity! Ever since the BJP came into power we have been called Lynchisthan! The BJP keeps no stastics of lynching we are told. But the media has and is chillingly exposing them. What is worse is the bizzare statements by BJP ministers and responsible RSS members/spokespersons, shown live on Television, justifying these ghastly murders! Here was a man whose cows were taken away from him, beaten by a mob, died under police custody. The police was more concerned on getting transport to send the cows illegally to a Gaushalla (and not the owners residence), also reportedly stopped for tea en route to the police station where the victim was seen alive and eventually taken to the hospital dead! The autopsy report says it all, with broken limbs and ribs. I saw a clip on Television showing a policeman kicking a floored Rakbhar! A telling statement was "The more Modi's popularity will get, the more lynchings will take place". Frightenning is the challenging of the Supreme Court and High Court decisions by government and encouraged/sponsored "spontenous" mobs! The Prime MInister just will not make a clear statement to stop this dangerous nonsense and lets the double speak of "We condemn this dastardly deed, no one can take the law into own hands BUT(Lekin)....." then justify peoples sentiments, the Hindutva narrative and so on. If the DGP is made responsible to implement the law by strict order and the state backs him, there will immediately be no law and order problem! In contravention of the Supreme Court and Mhadei Water Dispute Tribunal Karnataka diverts Kalsa river water to Malaprabha basin! Quotas decided by the SC (because the Executive is playing politics) leads to riots and destruction of vehicles and properties. An increasingly violent society with dangerous religious and communal dimensions, tardy implementaion of the law, will pit one against the other and destroy this beautiful nation!
