Crime and
No Punishment
A speeding SUV snuffed out the
lives of 9 innocent children in broad daylight on a Saturday afternoon. An act
of murderous madness destroyed the lifeblood of these poor families.
Will we ever be able to wipe
their tears? Because, they have dried. Will we ever be able to wipe their
tears? Because they refuse to stop. Staring fixedly at nothing, mirroring they
have nothing more to look forward to, having just lost their little darlings,
crushed under the wheels of a power drunk coward who fled the scene unaware of
the ton of guilt he carried as he did so. They have nothing more to lose! If
this does not make your blood boil, one wonders what else will.
These poor families already
reeling under economic bankruptcy are now burdened by having to cope with
emotional bankruptcy, what with their dreams shattered. Life is so cruel.
Do we have any right to call
ourselves a civilized society? Whose crime is greater - that of a rogue,
arrogant murderer or the deliberate delay by the powers that be in nabbing him?
Narendra Modi is known for his unconventional acts. Supreme Court has often
faced criticism for its ‘activism’. If ever there is time for unconventional
act, it is this. If ever there is circumstance that demands ‘suo-moto’ action
by the SC, it is this. Teach these rogue elements a lesson which they will
never forget. Teach them a lesson which will deter the rest. It is the least
that the citizens expect.
