*NEW DEFINATION OF LYNCHING* Whilst Rahul Gandhi made a technically wrong statement implyng lynching was unheard of before 2014, the BJP hit back with Rajiv Gandhi was the father of lynching meaning the violence perpetrated after the assasination of Indira Gandhi.So there was lynching indulged in but what Rahul meant was so very many occasions and the type of lynching namely for many reasons like cattle smuggling, suspicion of eating beef, hurting religious sentiments, caste differences of marriages etc where the person is beaten to death There is no new defination. This State patronage to vigilantes was not there and now with the Prime MInister condemning lynching this must stop! Two wrongs do not make a right and this whataboutery to justify wrongs should not cut ice anymore ?Transparency and accountability seems to have disappeared ! You cannot fool all the people all the time.
