Why UP CM Akhilesh Yadav can not find time and
consider it viable to meet kin of Badaun’s victim so far even after the United Nations condemned the “brutal” gang rape and
murder of two teenagers and asked for immediate action against the
accused?. The sensitivity of the SP party towards such crime against
minor girls can be gauge from the fact that SP’s Badaun MP Dharmendra Yadav
visited the victim’s village only five days after the crime. The minor Dalit
girls were gang raped and their bodies found hanging from a tree on May 28. The
incident has shocked the people across the nation and also abroad. The CM being
head of the state is duty bound to make visit and to meet kin of victims in
such crime to built confidence among the poor people and ensure safety for
them. The CM has to be much above the religion and caste politics and has to
set example of justice. Now many questions are being raised on the credibility
of the CM. The five accused who were arrested in the case so far are three
brothers and two police constables All happen to be Yadavs. Is this the reason,
CM does not want to go Badaun? In the absence of proper control and vision of
UP's CM, law and order situation is deteriorating day by day in
UP.
Sir, CM Akhilesh Yadav,
Just making the Chief Secretary Javed Usmani scapegoat would not serve any
purpose. It is open secret that after suffering humiliating defeat in Lok Sabha
elections as SP has won only five seats, your government was all set to remove
Chief Secretary. After CS, it is now Principle Secretary(Home). More than the
Chief Secretary, first you have to take decision about DGP whose duty is ensure
the speedy action in such case and to tell police personnel what is their duty,
ethics and principles. But to much aghast, police constables who were supposed
to protect the victims, himself turned out to be accused.
Seeing the gravity of the case, besides the coverage of the
heinous crime in the national print and electronic media, matter is also
reported in the BBC and other international newspapers. But this does seems to
have impressed the CM to meet the victims family members. In 2012, Nirbhaya was brutally gang raped in Delhi and
later she had succumbed to her injuries. This incident had led to protest
across the nation for justice. As a result of protest across nation had led to
amendment in rape laws. The court had awarded death penalty to 4 convicts in
the case. However in Nirbhya case also, many national leaders had condemned the
incident after the International news papers like New York Times wrote
editorials against the heinous crime.
It is very sad that many
of our political leaders could not find time to meet the people when they
really need them. The CM Akhilesh Yadav had visited villages across the state
and organised rallies during assembly elections and also Lok Sabha elections as
he need people votes. But why he is not meeting Kin of victims now when they
really need his support. The CM is miserably failed to maintain the law and
order in UP and also to act of timely to ensure safety to the kin of the
victims. The CM has recommended CBI inquiry in the case only after it
become political issue and opposition parties demanded CBI probe. While the
family members of the victims have refused compensation from the state
government stating that they just need justice not its money.
Another issue raised in the case is that
the two teenagers met the ill fate when
they have gone to defecate in the
nearby fields in the absence of toilet in their homes and has exposed failure of the centrally sponsored total sanitation
campaign or Normal Bharat Abhiyan to construct toilets in the rural
areas. Now positive development came to light is that in order to prevent
such incidents in the absence of toilets, the central government is learnt to preparing a proposal involving over 1.5
lakh crore to tackle open defecation.
Prominent among who met
the family members of the rape victims include Congress Vice President Rahul
Gandhi, BSP supremo Mayawati, Union
minister Ram Vilas Paswan, former Lok Sabha speaker Meria Kumar and AAP
convener Arvind Kejriwal. BJP women workers to held protest today in UP
protesting against the crime and justice. Hope that CM Akhilesh Yadav will find
time to meet family members of gang rape and murder victims.
Meanwhile yesterday the UP government has sent a detail report to the Union Home Ministry claiming that the victims does not belong to SC/ST, but belong to other Backward caste. Earlier the Home Ministry had asked the UP government that why stringent provisions of the SC/ST Act were not slapped against the accused in the case.
