Seven months after police open fired on unarmed peaceful protestors in Maval region of Maharashtra and kills 3 and injures 9, it arrests 47 others for attempt to murder. While the protestors were farmers agitating for a water pipeline in their village, the attackers were armed policemen who opened fire at the time the protestors were returning. And not only did the policemen kill villagers, they called up others to the police station to record their statement and instead arrested them on charges of assault on police team.
Is this the criminal justice system? Is this how the government machinery works? If this is the rule, then it will be very difficult for the poor, the downtrodden to survive.
Who is there to listen to the voice of the weak? Who is there to give them justice?
This should be a wake up call for the guardians of the society to come out and stand for the weak. This is the time when one has to think beyond and come out and call for justice. Or else, one by one, the voiceless will be eliminated...
