Gross Injustice
123 accused, 100 have been sentenced. 12 have been given death. 20 have
been given life terms, 15 of them with Rigorous Imprisonment and now
The Bombay Blasts case of 1993 is closed and the guilty being punished but the biggest question of today is whether the justice has been done?
The other question arises is about the understanding of law also the hypocrisy of the politicians and the role of the activist Media who played a significant role in the Jessica lal and Nitish Katara cases.
The case of Sanjay Dutt explains the situation after the Babri Masjid Demolition especially in Mumbai. The person of his stature got the threatening calls just because their family was helping a suffering community and for that reason he has to avail the illegal weapons. The Sri Krishna commission explains what has happened to the common people. 900 killed, 1,829 injured and 165 missing in the gruesome riots of December 1992, and January 1993 in Mumbai. The criminal cases, trial and convictions against a minority section of society and an unbinding commission, as proclaimed by the Supreme court, against the other sections simply explore the Hippocratic approach by the Politicians, say Congress.
Repeating the Histories of Right related commission reports the Political parties read Congress has done the same with this report. Government after the government has changed in the Maharashtra and in the Center, after 1998 when Justice Sri Krishna submitted it report but, till today, Action Taken committee highlighted 100 lapses in which no action or inappropriate action has been taken. 12 major lapses against senior political leaders like Bal Thackrey, Madhukar sarpotdar of Shiv Sena, 18 lapses against Police officers and the 78 other lapses. People of India had no hope from the Fascist Parties like Shiv Sena and the BJP but Congress has proved itself that they are no different as far as justice to a community is concern or a fear of loosing Vote of Majority.
Noting that nine years had passed since the Commission submitted its report, The National Commission for Minorities (NCM) would approach the Prime Minister to press for early implementation of the Srikrishna Commission Report but Where is the Minister of Minority? And what is he doing? He has been seeing on the Television interview advocating the rights of Kashmiri Pandits which is absolutely fine but in this case he never bother to say a word.
With the due respect to the hard work of Justice Kode, now a well-known and respected name in the legal fraternity, and the tedious work of Justice Sri Krishna a retired High court Judge, who investigated the 1992-93 rights, their reading about the Mumbai blast is different. A common Indian is unable to understand that Justice Sri Krishna in his report has observed that the Mumbai blast is a reaction of rights after the demolition of Babri masjid while Justice Kode, don’t agree with it. Where are the people who laugh at two different Fatwas by Maulanas on an issue?
The STF was constituted in August 2000 as a prosecuting agency in the riots cases, but in the interview to a news paper Satish Gaikwad, DCP (STF), maintains “Our profile has changed a great deal over the years. We are only meant to monitor the riot-related cases and see that nothing untoward happens in the investigations carried out by local police stations. All work related to the riots was handled by the STF a long time ago and now it’s the responsibility of the police stations” and their main job now is to bust milk adulteration and spurious oil rackets in the city. What a pity??
With the certain exception, the media who were so inquisitive and work as an activist in some cases individual cases and help them to get justice is silent on this Gross injustice. The general media, as usual, is running after Sanjay dutt, a TRP Booster. What he likes? Where does he live? What is he eating so on and so forth? And a newspaper quoted the eminent Editor, of a News Channel, who declared this approach as fair. Besides Urdu newspaper, Hindustan Times, Mumbai edition, under the Courageous Editor, Samar Halarnkar, has started a campaign to implement the Sri Krishna commission Report by exposing the Lapses and it should be applauded and supported.
Following a recent example of the Australians our media and all the Indians should start a campaign against this Gross injustice.
History has proved that unjust Society can’t remain peaceful and the people have to bear the burnt of it. Injustice will facilitate the terrorist organization-mobilizing people for their cause and will diminish the impact of moderates in the Society. Judiciary is helpless Politicians are hypocrites, Administration is guilty and therefore It is the high time that we the people of India, the media raise our Voice and strengthen our Democracy and Justice in our Society.

politicians have shamelessly shrugged off every blame for as long back as one can remember. they are supposed to be thick-skinned and that's perhaps the only criterion for the eligibility to fight an election, but what about the corporates? i think we must turn our attention to the tatas, birlas, ambanis etc too and it'll be interesting to note how they use both the politicians and the underworld...no one raises an accusing finger at these unimpeachable saudagars who have sold the nation to whoever has paid the highest amount...history is a witness to their misdeeds...
as the country debates on the 1992-93 riots and mumbai blasts, the politicians and business tycoons sign deals with USA...any coincidence?
zohra.
