Re: [IAC#RG] [HRArmy] PRESS RELEASE. Death of Delhi's innocent gangrape victim.

I feel that whatever happened to that Angel called the Brave Heart or Damini or Nirbhaya was nothing but a mirror reflection of what has happened to the Indian Executive and the Judicial and Legislative system, not necessarily in the same order. The patient suffered multiple rapes, was tortured, developed gangarine and septicemia, suffered more than one cardiac arrest, started bleeding throughout the body and was officially declared brain dead.
 
This is the state of the Indian Executive and the Judicial and Legislative system.
 
Only the final act of Nirbhaya being whisked away to another country to be declared dead is not possible in the case of the system and its individual players!
 
I quote the following instances to prove my point:

1. Neither the Executive, nor the Legislatures, nor the Judiciary, nor the citizens and nor women themselves till now questioned the ineffectiveness of the Indian investigation and justice delivery system against thousands of the registered rape cases and millions of unreported and unregistered cases in the entire length and breadth of the country.

2. Do you remember an IG named Rathore who after molesting a minor girl and driving her to death, continued to receive 3 promotions and the President of India's medal for his exemplary services?

3. Do you remember the Union Carbide case which in many ways was the first bold attempt through the rape of our integrated system to render grave injustice to thousands of poor Bhopal gas victims? It was not one bad man who did it.

4. Do you remember that a retired Chief Justice of India was appointed Chairman of National Human Rights Commission despite being investigated for corruption?
 
5. Do you remember that under his job as CJ of the Apex Court, a Chief Justice of Karnataka High Court was merely transferred to another High Court after the allegations of corruption against him were nearly  proved?

6. Do you remember the Bofors case, where despite clear proof of bribe being paid to one Mr. Q, no one was punished or held accountable?

7. Do you remember 2G Spectrum scam in which a crucial note was given way back in 2007 by the Cabinet Secretary to the PM? It gave advance warning of the impending astronomical loss of Rs30000 crores and this note was hidden away from the CAG, CBI and the Apex Court. It came to light only during recent PAC hearings. This was criminal obstruction of justice at the country's highest level and yet no one lost sleep over such a monumental cover up. No case has been registered till now. Remember! This case is being monitored by the Apex Court. Moreover it is already on record that the warning given by a highly regarded Finance Secretary was overlooked by the Finance Minister who agreed with Raja rather than bothering about his finance secretary's advice.

8. Do you remember how the country's natural resources of mining were looted in the last decade by crony capitalists in league with the highest executive and political establishments?

Truth indeed hurts but sad to say that we the people were mute witnesses to all the above happenings which were only the tip of the iceberg.
 
Each of these cases amounted to rape of the system. By our tolerance we aided and abetted the dastardly acts and are equally guilty. Now we are beating our breasts and trying to put Humpty Dumpty together.
 
This case is about giving equal rights to 50% of the nation's population.
 
It is about allowing a woman to express herself in any way that she wants to without having to kowtow to patriarchal dictats and views.
 
Nirbhaya has made a supreme sacrifice with her life. Her promising life was extinguished by the cruel rapists. The best tribute to her would be for the country to rise as one nation to bury the brain dead system.
 
Let us not be hoodwinked again by future promises.

I agree with the points raised by Gen Malik but I feel we are only likely to achieve partial success. My fear is that there is a total breakdown of governance in the country, which requires a total shakeup to the very bones of our system of administration. Take the present case. The bus had been picking up passengers  even when it was not authorised to do so for a number of years, despite the DTC and police having reported the incidents to the Delhi govt transport dept. Also will the police start working only when the police reforms are implemented? Till their implementation will it continue to be hostile to aggrieved citizens who come to the police station?  Will the transport dept continue to permit illegalities as long as the culprit continues to fill the pockets of the staff?
The trouble is that there is no accountability and punitive action depends on "who you know". Witness the recent incidents of political leaders gunning down a police inspector or beating up another in Punjab or the cases of police abetment in the cases of two girls committing suicide during the recent months. Do you think things will change if the police reforms are brought into force?
The other day a newspaper published the names of 15 civil servants whose cases are awaiting govt approval for prosecution or for enforcing the penalties imposed on them since 2007. Despite existing laws which additional law do we need to prosecute them?
As long as political leaders keep getting away with looting public money because of voting requirements in the parliament, things are not going to change. Children follow the actions of their parents and citizens follow their leaders! We need a leader who sets an example and shows leadership qualities. A very tall order. Till that happens we will continue to suffer.

Sisters and brothers,

It is a fact that majority of rape cases have not been  reported to the police because they have to undergo lot of mental agony in the police station and as well as  in  the court room in front of many men.  But I have not come across   any suggestion to overcome this lacuna. Atrocities against women should be handled  only by women( police,  lawyers and judges should all be women in the Fast Track courts.). They  should be given special training to handle these cases. Cross -examination of the victim in the  open court room should be avoided to the extent  possible, if it is  a medically proven case, and Video Conference technology may be used. My request is that women should come forward in large numbers to take up these professions so that later on  the Govt. will not come out with an excuse that they are not getting  sufficient women to handle the cases.

Very disturbing news! Feel very sad for her and her parents. Braveheart! RIP.

Public anger should be directed to Electoral, Judicial and Police reforms. 
  • All MPs and MLAs charged for any crime should be thrown out of Parliament/Assemblies. Political parties should be forbidden to give membership to such people.
  • Police Reforms as approved by the Supreme Court in 2006 should be implemented in letter and spirit by all states.
  • Fast courts to deal with crimes against women. 
  • Respect for women in  society should be part of social studies in all schools. No religion or Khap Panchayat should be allowed to pass dictats that violate this spirit.

IAC does not indulge in politics.

This incident has shocked and roused the nation. IAC will pursue it in our own ways once the TV cameras and NGOs have moved onto other issues, and long after all the candles being lit today have flickered out.
