The pain, the trauma, the agony, the feeling of being in a society amassed by timid people, lifelong suffering for the victim and the family, endless infliction of amiss on every sight of the defaced... I fear if these should be the outcome of righteous resistance against licentious barbarian brutal act. I am always of the opinion of corrective punishments but I can never think of anything lesser than capital punishment for such heinous crime.
I feel sorry how none of us talk about this episode. How can we be so insensitive? That the culprit's lives be snatched is undebatable. What I can invite people to debate is whether these monsters who've committed this crime should be publicly executed or shot in full public view. It is not just defacing of one's face, it is the sheer contempt of nature's law of 'respect for the dignified life for all, irrespective of sex, race or anything else'.
We saw how little time our Hon'ble President took to reject the mercy plea of 26/11 lone surviving terrorist. In less than 2 days time, decision was taken, file was sent back to Maharastra Govt. with Home Ministry's approval for the execution. Why can't they form a law to tackle such heinous crime? Lokpal, corruption, everything can wait and should wait for we must enforce laws to expedite sentencing of such criminals at the earliest.
Won't it be great if Hon'ble Supreme Court takes into cognizance of such acts and formulate a law for the benefit of the citizens? Acid attacks and rapes are crimes that must not wait for someone filing a PIL to draw attention from Hon'ble lawmakers. Who would like to see a face burnt, dreams shattered, life ruined? None of us. Alternatively till the time a law to tackle such crimes is formulated and strictly enforced, we can also urge few professionals to do nothing to do the justice with these criminals.
When these criminals are taken up for hearing, we can urge policemen not to let them cover their faces. People of a civilized nation very well know how to treat these criminals so when these criminals are being taken to custody or hearing, we can urge the policemen to do nothing (at least for a few minutes). I am supremely confident that justice will be done in no time. When such criminals approach lawyers to take up their cases, they can again do nothing... Sometimes such inactivity from certain professionals can go a long way in creating a civilized nation.
Till the time laws to tackle such crimes is formulated and enforced, we can also urge the netizens, the bloggers, media and social fraternity to keep the issue up and spreading. Radical transformation is not to happen but definitely we can start moving in bits. I resolve to do my bit by writing, highlighting and circulating...What's your bit friends...?
