Source : Live LawWhat have public morality and political sensitivity reduced to! Before deciding whom to blame for the Kolkata rape and murder, the intelligentsia in India has to first decide the political vantage point from where to launch its protest/attack.
If they are left-leaning so-called liberals with some secularism thrown in, they are in a dilemma. How to demand that Mamata Banerjee resign for she is ultimately culpable? Isn't she one of their gang? Aren't they all on the INDIA Opposition side and against the Hindutva BJP? How is it possible that they bay for Mamata's blood and yet protect her from the BJP's attacks.
The communal gang in India also has a dilemma. It saw in the incident a perfect opportunity to attack Mamata by selling politics over the victim's raped and killed body. Its IT cell went about robustly in creating a fake atmosphere with fake facts. But their leaders in Delhi were worried. They had just survived a very bad drubbing the 2024 general elections and made it with the skin of their teeth. They now know the majority of the Indian electorate dislikes them and sees them as charlatans and fakes. So, how to restore people's trust in them? They needed to attack Mamata while being seen to sympathize with the victim. Sadly for them, sympathy is not something people associate with them, considering the host of party members of parliament and assemblies and municipalities and sports federations who are being protected from rape and murder charges. Their social media propaganda against Mamata was received enthusiastically by their cadres. However, there was nobody congratulating them for sympathising with the victim.
You should carefully go through the Live Law report of today's at the Supreme Court to understand the politics over the dead. Sepulchral.
All the parties included, right from the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India to Kapil Sibal, the paid lawyer of the West Bengal government and the representatives of the police and the hospital, they all played their parts impeccably. They asked the right questions. They got the right answers. There were caustic observations. There were respectful agreements.
But the real issued were briefly discussed in the collective exercise to find a "solution" -- the most vulgar word in Indian jurisprudence. There is never any solution. There is only a deferment till the next time.
There is a rational and logical explanation for everything you throw at the court. Ask them why the former principal was not arrested (how many fake arrests the Court has seen sine 2014 and did not give bail, leading to the death of Stan Swami?), the answer is we cannot interfere because the CBI has taken over the case. Don't we all know that it is not justice that moves the agency but a room somewhere in the secure North Block of Delhi?
The most obvious questions which have not elicited responses in all these days:
*Why did the police say it is a suicide? What were they covering? Whom were they protecting?
*The role and antecedents of the former principal?
*Why was the FIR lodged quite late, late into that night?
*Why was the body of the victim not preserved?
*Why was the autopsy report not made public at once? And was there no second autopsy done by another team as a precaution?
*How come the police's biggest lie was not nailed, that they were not aware who the vandals were and why they were not guarding the hospital at that time?
What options have the victim's parents now? N.O.T.H.I.N.G.
