Supreme Court View - Insults Our Nation and Women

In the country where the Criminalization of Politics is at the Peak today, we see another Rape of the Law and the Society in General.  I happened to read the following article and it posed a serious question mark on the way our Legal and Social outlook as a Nation stands:

Can’t disqualify MPs, MLAs facing rape cases: SC

Supreme Court of India is the apex court and if a Judge makes a statement like the above, it seriously hurts the sentiments of the Law Abiding Citizens.  In a country where we see an outcry as well as protest against the Crime against Women, Apex Court is in a way supporting the Rapists.  What is it making a statement about that it can't Take a Step to ensure that the Rapist even if is a Politician or Minister, is brought to Justice? 

The Statement from the Apex Court and the specific Judge is Shameful.  What would the citizens be looking at if the Rapists would be sitting there enacting some Laws that we would seriously challenge from the Sanity and Sanctity perspective.  I am just amazed at the statement as it may be taken as a ruling and a reference in the cases across the country.  We need a LAW to ensure that the respective MP or MLA when charged with Rape Offence, is suspended from the respective Assembly / House to ensure fare trials.  We need a Witness Protection Program to ensure that the Witness is not identified till the statement is recorded in the Court and Justice is Awarded.

If we would see that the MPs and MLAs charged with Rape Cases can't be disqualified, then we would see many other cases across the country where the references to this effect would lead to conflicting situations at the workplace where suspension from Job on the grounds of Rape Charges be then countered highlighting this statement.  MPs and MLAs need to be at the least suspended if not Disqualified.  It proven Guilty, they need to be treated in the same fashion as a general criminal and a sitting MP or MLA to that effect doesn't get the treatment of a criminal.  They rather are treated as VIPs and are dealt with 5 star facilities in the Jails.....

Supreme Court needs to re-look at its decision to not submit a PIL against the given MP / MLA's disqualification and needs to re-look at the statement passed to this effect.  It can have far reaching implications and the Supreme Court can't pass a statement like this which is born out of the  Shortsightedness of the Judge or say Politically Influenced Judge.

We all honor the Law and the Apex Court, but then they also need to Honor the Honor bestowed on them!!

Insensitive Ideology - Demand to Boycott Republic Day Part II

A nice and though provoking Article as Shared by a Friend - Bhaskar. Sincere Thanks to him to have come up with such a Supporting Article.
--------------------------

Boycotting Republic Day is being shortsighted. We need sustained pressure on the government society. A day's protest is just that, one single day of trying to make a point.

Singly collectively, we should try multiple layers of protest.

For example, how you use your vote in 2014 is a protest.

Secondly, if any of us is connected to high level lawyers, let us explore filing a PIL in Delhi against the government - for their lack of proper governing, for their lack of legislation their morbid callousness. Even for its shutting down metro stations roads. Do the same against Del police for using their 'Hafta Diary' to find the bus on which Nirbhaya was attacked.

Thirdly, set up a pressure group that will have the resilience funds commitment to keep the issue alive before the govt. How soon can we bring changes in legislation?

Fourthly, how are we approaching the archaic mindsets prevalent in smaller cities, towns villages? Who can help? Will simple sensitization help? Will stricter laws be possible? Can we find people in our circles who can help us?

It is not just debased men at fault, its a nasty mindset perpetuated by women equally. If you are angry, use it well.

Real cultural education across the board will take a long time but has to start right now. Let us explore if our children's text books can have different subliminal messages about gender equality. Can teachers training courses have a paper on gender issue management? Can we lobby for thoughtful general entertainment content - in movies, TV and print? There is so much more.

Finally, can we please attack the issue out of public glare TV cameras? Can we start at home? In each action, statement response at home, can we be establishing the message of respect, equality humane behavior between the sexes?

Let us start - at home, school, social circles - every day, each day of our lives - before we decide to boycott a national day.
