FIR on Pawan Jaswal is adding salt to wounds The reporter/Journalist in a video high lighted salt being served with Roti instead of sanctioned Bhaji.. None of the sections of FIR apply to the journalists as per knowledge of learned lawyers. No FIR on corruption against those responsible for defrauding the Govt resources... Pawan Jaswal is accused of exposing apathy , conspiracy and obstructing officers in the line of duty.. It smacks of ludicrous arguments bordering on ignorance of law or its interpretation. Journalist have protested in public, but without effect and the proprietors do not seem to extend moral support, forget about legal help It is intolerance at its heights ,towards regional senior scribes ,threatening them for indirectly exposing the ills plaguing the society. and making mockery of mid day meals programme. It is possible that he may be arrested and forced to knock the doors of higher judiciary, where he surely get relief..A public interest litigation can also be lodged for just relief . The Magistrate makes laughable justification that a picture other than video would have been be acceptable. In fact FIR should be filed against the law enforcing officer and those in charge of mid day meals. .The teachers should have reported this matter to higher authorities., Serving Roti with salt is un acceptable combination to unsuspecting children under nutritious meals. The Govt under pressure is wriggling out of the situation by pretending to examine the contents of the FIR and promising to take action as law demands Govt instead of crying conspiracy to defame the U P Govt should have honoured the journalist for exposing the scam of fraud and corruption in looting Govt resources It is case of extreme intolerance towards perceived criticism of U P Govt and the CM It is unceasingly clear that any criticism of Govt will face backlash and wrath of the administration Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
