The article speaks the explanations given by the Karnataka Home Minister Dr. V S Acharya and the Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa on the two recent incidents in Mangalore i.e. the attacks on girls in a pub two weeks ago and thrashing of a college student and her friend’s brother she was speaking to on a bus, which induced a national fury.
These two incidents in Mangalore should not only be condemned but also the accused should be punished but the Home Minister and the Chief Minister of Karnataka are in no mood to take any action against these incidents. In fact, they think these minor incidents keep on happening. They say that it is a responsibility of the parents to take care of their children, as nothing can be done if the local goodas attack the people. This reminds me of the movies Rang De Basanti, wherein the local gonadas just in the name of promoting Indian customs, end up attacking the youngsters. According to me, no party can end up whipping youngsters, as we live in a democratic country and nowhere the Constitution of India mentions that people cannot enjoy their lives, unless it disturbs someone. However, it is not the first time that these so called responsible Ministers have passed irresponsible comments. Everyone remembers the comments passed by R R Patil after the Mumbai attacks, who termed the terrorist attacks in Mumbai as ‘minor incidents’. And also the comments by the CM of Karnataka, when Major Unnikrishana’s father refused to meet him, wherein he said, “If Sandeep hadn’t been a martyr not even a dog would come to your door.” And it disturbs me to that no other leading newspapers have bothered to report this piece of news.
The article is well written and has highlighted all the necessary comments made by both the Ministers. The article makes the reader think about the kind of people who are ruling our country and also makes them think to not give votes to these people since the elections are fast approaching as if these people cannot take up a responsibility if the State then who will?
Home Minister never made such statement - Kunjambu is just paraphrasing it and Times of India happily carried it.
ReplyDeleteIt turns out Kunjambu the MLA knows all of the so-called attackers and they even worked for him in the election.
It appears Kunjambu did not want his daughter to roam around a Muslim boy so planned the whole thing - unfortunately for him Karnataka Police are not like Kerala police and have cracked the case.
