SHAMEFUL CHAPTER IN INDIAN DEMOCRACY This is how Arun Jaitley describes crackdown at Ram Lila grounds,the pot calling the kettle black! Isn't blackmailing the Congress by not permitting Parliament to function for its whole term demanding a JPC and blessing the corruption in Karnataka equally shameful?The Congress is now using the same tactics that hounded Tehelka to cover that exposure. Baba Ramdev has been called a fraud and a thug,When their usual bogus agreements and diluting Committee tactics were seen through, officially sanctioned police action on unarmed and peacefully sleeping protesters including women and children was unleashed resulting in externing Ramdev with resultant damage to people and material.Now the Empire will strike with laws and rules questioning his source of funding,land acquisitions,medicines patents etc.The same laws and rules they have generally flouted to permit amassing of assets disproportionate to their source of income and even stash it abroad! Now they will even use the fineprint and to exist in our System, no one can be lily white in any case. Equality before the law is a joke. Mobocracy rules.The rich stay out of the way. The poor and unconnected are helpless . In Goa, the government seems to have learnt no lessons from the Balli violence.The Supreme Court has declared Bandhs as unconstitutional and has banned it! Further, any damage is to be recovered from those calling the bundh. Section 144 is to be used rarely and for the shortest period.Why is there no pre-emptive action on the politicians and big wigs enforcing illegality?Why must there be action during and after the event every time! Why is there no accountability from all the concerned? Why is the law applied only after the Courts are involved? Why are no fines imposed,compensation recovered? Is it the Courts/ Civil Society responsibility to ensure governance as per law? --- On Tue, 7/6/11, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote:
