000231-----The Need to Damage Control

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
