Day 461

    I’m confused about what to write today. Actually, the incidence of Palghar in Maharashtra has raised many questions. Really, the incidence is worth to condemn. Mob lynching isn’t the solution of anything. Police has arrested 110 people including nine minors but police would have stopped the mob lynching at the first place. The whole incidence happened in front of the police and police was mute spectator in the scenario.

    Maharashtra government is saying that indeed the mob lynching at Palghar is a tragic incidence and it has no connection with any religion or community. If the same incidence would have happen with a person of another religion or community then what would have been the statement of the Maharashtra government? This is clear cut case of escaping from a situation without giving any solution. I think humanism has seized to exist in India in name of secularism. Secularism has become an aid to help minorities only whereas the real meaning of secularism is to help people of every religion and community.

    Two sadhus of 70 years and 35 years were going to Gujarat to attend a funeral. But according to police, villagers thought them to be the thieves. I wonder that can’t villagers differentiate the dress of sadhu and thief? I think this theory is just a cover to the mob lynching. Police is just trying to cover its inefficiency. Now a minister of Maharashtra government is saying that who gave the permission to break the lockdown? Now my counter question is that who gave the mob of 300 people to break the lockdown? Chief Minister of Maharashtra is saying that this isn’t a communal thing so no one be spared if he try to spread hatred. I agree with him. But what about the policeman who gifted an elder sadhu to the mob to kill him? Just suspending him from the service isn’t the solution. He should be terminated from the service and he should be trailed in the court of law as a criminal.
