The recent order by the State Govt. to suspend
05 policemen and initiate inquiry is a welcome step .No Govt. order suggests to
it that the Police shall resort to medieval thinking and taking the law in
their hands shall punish a journalist in such a heinous and condemn-able manner;
sprinkling petrol and set the man alive on fire and that too about a man who
already expressed his apprehension of murder by the Police at the behest of the
powerful leader .This was well designed and brought into day light .Had it been
night ,they would have resorted to other sort of methods. Such type of
personnel with criminal mentality needs to be seriously punished because of two
reasons-(1)No other person in future may resort to such type of crime ,that too
in the Govt. Dress and secondly, the good work ,the Police carry out is
snatched away by these people and both
the Police as well as Govt. is defamed in the world. What worst the minister
and of course the big Boss could do to them, Transfer or break on promotion.For that too,there is justice ,But Now
,none can save these chaps from the Hon’ble court ,The last word uttered by the
dying journalist is sufficient for them to be hanged or face the life imprisonment.
The hon’ble court has already worked a lot and
provided the safety and extended the security umbrella to all the working
people .If the Minister or anybody calls, maintain record ,write diary and send
the information to the higher-ups, may be confidentially ,sufficient enough to maintain
records, This is true that now leaders do not call or use mobile ,but
personally call them for whether extortion or untoward incident or deplorable
work. But examples of the RTO of Mirzapur is not sufficient to prove that he
withstood of what the minister wanted of
him. But no ,these people are ,to put in the words of the Editorials from the
Hindustan times ,the personnel from “the organized force of goondas.”
Another example may be cited from Deoria ,where
people caught hold of the thief who was said to be beaten by the public and
later he succumbed to death .In the mean time Police arrested the person who
informed the police and sent him to jail .Now,it is said that there was
carelessness on the part of the Police. The hon’ble Supreme Court had to intervene
by saying that whenever any causality takes place ,this is the duty of the
people on the spot to inform and support the Govt. agencies. In such manner who
comes forward is still to be seen.
This is also true that the main target amongst
the journalists are from the lower level. There was the time when public stood
in their support ,but the lethargic attitude of the public and entry of some in
the name of journalism really working beyond the prescribed norms is also
serious and grave in nature.
However, there can not be a denial of the fact
that the life of the Journalist is very cheap ,more particularly in the
disturbed areas in the world .Recently their beheading, open attack in broad
day light and killing of blogger in
countries is sufficient to cite how challenging is it for them to work and
bring us the reality in our bed room .The deplorable part of such episode is
this ,in countries like India ,this is happening ,where we have the democracy
and the voice of the people supreme. Really, the medieval thinking still prevails
which need to be stopped and curbed strictly .This is condemned in deep words
with a request for the Govt. to take care of the bereaved family with proper
compensation and service to the needy on the humanitarian ground. This is no time
for any sort of politics, but for damage control ,and need ,of course arises
for the chaps to be better trained in order to enable them to face the new
challenges in the emerging trends and tendencies in the new world order
