Dear Friend, The following appeal/text is self-explanatory. In case you feel like you may also act suitably.
Sukla ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Sukla Sen <sukla....@gmail.com> Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2019 at 19:32 Subject: Invoking of National Security Act, over and above the relevant law, in Madhya Pradesh against three accused/arrested in Madhya Pradesh on charge of cow slaughter To: <cr.n...@nic.in>, <mphumanri...@yahoo.co.in> Cc: <c...@mpchiefminister.com>, <sgn...@nic.in>, <js-n...@nic.in> To Shri Justice H. L. Dattu Chairperson National Human Rights Commission <cr.n...@nic.in> Justice Narendra Kumar Jain Chairperson, State Human Rights Commission, Madhya Pradesh, <mphumanri...@yahoo.co.in> Cc.: Shri Kamal Nath, Chief Minister, Madhya Pradesh <c...@mpchiefminister.com> Shri Jaideep Govind, IAS, NHRC <sgn...@nic.in> Dr. Ranjit Singh, JS(P&A), NHRC <js-n...@nic.in> Respected Sirs, Today's Indian Express, web edition, carries a news item (ref.: < https://indianexpress.com/article/india/in-mp-this-time-under-cong-three-held-under-nsa-for-cow-slaughter-5571019/>) to the effect that three people - named Nadeem, Shakeel and Azam, in the Khandwa town of Madhya Pradesh, were arrested under the provisions of the MP Prohibition of Cow Slaughter Act, on the charge of slaughtering a cow. One of the accused/arrested - Nadeem, is reportedly a repeat offender. The subject report also informs that the Bajrang Dal had agitated over the issue and there is a possibility of communal violence. The report further informs that the National Security Act was subsequently invoked against accused/arrested. While cow slaughter is an offence in the state of Madhya Pradesh and the state police should, no doubt, act appropriately, within the framework of law, against any (alleged) breach of law and take the possibility of any consequent outbreak of a larger law and order problem into account, the invoking of the National Security Act (ref.: < https://mha.gov.in/sites/default/files/National_Security_Act1980.pdf>), which is primarily meant to deal with India's "security" in relation with any foreign power, is transparently irrational and disproportionate to the (alleged) subject crime and thereby quite unwarranted. Hence, your kind attention is drawn to the case for prompt intervention and necessary remedial action.
