This post
is not about bashing singer Abhijeet, after all he was already on News hour and
Arnab was at his best as usual and I don’t think I will match Arnab even if
have to write my words with flames. But I would still want to express my
frustration over it. It is shocking to see Psychos living among us, pretending to
be normal in the branded clothes. This judgment on Salman khan opens up a
bigger debate which goes beyond Salman khan, his celebrity status, he “being a
human” and other non-sense. People die every day, thousands of them die every
day and they die in accidents like Salman caused.
Hundreds
of “drunk and drive” cases gets filed every night across the country, number of
accidents takes place when a driver is drunk and people get killed. So Salman
khan also committed the same crime that hundreds of Indians are committing
every day and night. It would have been just another case if he was awarded
punishment quickly or morons like Abhijeet didn’t tweet the way he tweeted. May
be a portion of Salamn’s fans also must be thinking in the same way saying “who
cares about the poor guy died 13 years ago, don’t punish him, we can’t wait 5
more years for his next movie, let him entertain us”. The astonishing thing in
the whole story is defense lawyer trying use the charity Salman endorses.
How
about this?
Indian law
should be amended to provide special protections to social workers, celebrities
who involve in charity. So that they can get away if they committed any crime
and hence they can do a greater good to the society by continuing their social service . Let us say
INR 1- 5 crore donation
and 1 year social service
|
Can drink and drive, No case
|
INR 6 – 10 crores and 2 years
social service
|
Can drink and drive, hit cause
injuries – No case
|
INR 10 crore and more than 5
years of social service
|
Can drink and drive, hit and
cause death – No case
|
Insane….. Right? The argument of the
defense lawyer and few of Salman’s fans who are trying to use his charity as a qualifier
to pardon him from the crime is equally insane, just that when we represent as
above it looks so but otherwise when it is about celebrates it does not. So
defense lawyer and other senseless people – GO TO HELL.
Footpaths
are not for sleeping
Fair
enough! While I want to go the bigger
point of why people are sleeping on footpaths, it is important to consider the
fact that what if on that night nobody was sleeping on the footpath but few are
taking a walk on the footpath? He would have killed one or two. The logic of he was killed because they slept on the footpath does not stand even a meager chance.
Delhi footpaths
are home for 0.2 million people and over 40,000 families live on the footpaths
of Mumbai, the important is question is why?
Because they
are poor, they don’t have homes, vicious successive governments could not
succeed in providing basic amenities to the sons and daughters of this land.
Will we ever succeed in bring this number down? This third largest economy in the
world be able to provide roof to the poor to hide his head and not become prey
for drunken drivers?
Justice
delayed, it can further get delayed
More than
3 crore cases are pending in Indian courts as of De, 2014, It took 13 years for
a session’s court to conclude in this case and award punishment, the ridiculous
thing is there are at least another 3 layers of courts and if it takes same
time it will take another 36 years to finally……finally conclude on this, by
then who is alive and who is dead.
