Thanks to the fast track court for awarding of seven years’ rigorous imprisonment in Orissa’s BJP MLA Manoj Pradhan, for his role in the 2008 Kandhamal communal riots. Such quick judgements restore the confidence of people in judiciary.
After the independence India faced many communal riots, perhaps riots being every year. But not a single government can stop the riots. Every time political parties blame once another but can’t gave any solution to stop the riots. For the riots secular parties blame to the communal parties and communal parties blame to the double policy of secular parties but every time only public burned in the fire of riots, not the politician.
After the death of Indira Gandhi, there being communal riots in Delhi, and a minister of a government has told that “JAB KOI BADA PED GIRTA HAI TAB DHARTI TO HILTI HI HAI”. Such type of statements has shown the irresponsibility of the politicians should be condemned by one and all.
Riots typically involve vandalism and the destruction of private and public property. But when the charge of instigating the people for rioting is proved in the court, the law should be amended for awarding of severe punishment so that others may not dare to do so in future. Even during the appeal period; the elected candidate should not be allowed to attend to any job and government function. Only with the strict implementation of laws, we can change the thinking and behaviour of persons to keep up the image of the parties and society as well.
There is no religion, caste and ideology of a politician. But they always talk about the caste and religion, actually politicians are playing with public by these words, every time politicians won the game and public loses. Not only public loses but a nation lose there culture, identity and sovereignty. Yes these communal riots are the curse for the nation though our nation faced every year these communal riots.
Not only the BJP but all political parties should make it a part of their strategy not to field their candidates in the elections even they are under trial. Denying tickets to candidates with criminal background or involved in any other illegal offence, will definitely enhance the image of the party.
