Is this the bus rape case from Kerala , which involved politicians and high profile people?
yes. and nowhere near to closure. involves high-profile politicians like pj kurien. a parallel here is that the victim was a minor too at the time of some her multiple rapes (42/67, dont recall), and has several times written to authorities & bigwigs, even once rebutting SC's observation of herself!
then, there's another case where the accused is a xtian, but media usually refers him by his pre-conversion Hindu name (i think, Ganesan). do you recall about that one?
@Nicky G, do you?
There is not much precedent for this as my previous post states an experienced officer. Having done so, I hope this precedent is now extended when others riot inevitably occur.
As for allowing people to converge, that's a gray area. Should there have been prohibitory orders such as 144 across all of Haryana, Punjab and Delhi? How do you exactly stop people moving? Should they have been put in preventive custody? All fair questions and I am not absolving the state of the blame, but I find it silly that people are getting carried away and blaming the government when there is not much better they could have done.
Anyway, my last post was about the courts dragging in the PM. If they want the precedent set that center should be involved in state law and order, let them pass such a judgment. It might be better in the long run. Passing comments don't mean much other than for media consumption.
some are even speculating that this event was:
1. either an attention-diversion one, away from something sinister happening in KL/Ktaka/TN
2. or that, more likely, a template/dry-run to the national herald case, when the chinese gandhis will be indicted.
That's worth an entire thread in itself.
Left attacks as a coordinated group focused on the enemy, whereas the right wing is always fragmented and riddled with in-fighting. Perhaps it has something to do with collective nature of left vs. individualistic nature of right.
Its always much harder to mobilize the right. It takes extreme situations such as ten year loot of UPA or people being fed up of establishment in US.
The left also accepts flaws and bad apples for their larger cause whereas right wingers want perfection. Perfect example right here, right wingers decrying this baba, have you heard of a leftie blaming their imams or commies? Never.
i was just wondering about this a few hours back. as someone who follows so-termed RW fellows of various hues on SM and forums, i see a staggering number of fissures in this landscape! unlike the left, the right seems to be like a chaotic scene 9f party-poopers, who had converged for some single idealistic/ideological party, after much travails & then deliberation, but it turns into a mutual fisticuff-scene when members begin to open their mouth! an example - i follow an architect on fatwabook, who has an RSS background; brilliant chap, shares very informative stuff, is brutal & unapologetic, proud, hardcore Hinduttvawaadi, erudite, articulate, goes to the enemy camps of leftists & jihadis, gives them a chokeslam & returns like a badass after getting blocked by them or otherwise, has been put in 'kufr correctional' facility by fatwabook multiple times now & it has even snatched away the 'share' button from his posts, and yada yada yada....to my amazement & dismay, some days back, he took a jibe at jaggi vasudev & ravishankar, etc., demeaning them for propagating Hinduttva 'wrongly', and was joined in by some more erudite but rabid Hinduttvawaadis spewing vile abuses at JV & RS. one fellow, like a child standing & sulking in a corner of a classrom & vying for attention of his other classmates creating a racket, suddenly declared that JV & RS are funded by missionaries! i got sucked into the vacuum of bewilderment for a few moments upon seeing that, & not able to restrain myself, wrote a sarcastic reply to his comment. and without getting the import of my comment, that fellow showed his agreement to what i had written.
this afterall is our state! we are totally, absolutely, अधकचरे-like i feel. someone once, i think
@Dovah or
@Project Dharma had commented, that the RW is a caricature of itself.
were bullets also fired when the jihadis organised by the same reza academy had burnt 2-3 policemen alive in a similar 'protest' in bhiwandi more than a decade ago? despite that, they were given the permission to organise another 'peaceful protest' in 2012. may be because like in 2012, they squeezed themselves out of the noose by tendering an apology.
Sir, remember - it is more important to APPEAR to do the rightful thing, than to actually do the right thing.
Modi must APPEAR to be fair to all religions. Therein lies Bharat's future
haha. saar, you are well aware who'd be then sizing the neck of NaMo, arent you?
@Hemu Vikram Aditya already hinted in a subsequent post. again, one of the classic symptoms of the malady that affects the so-called RW.
