On December 23, 2008, the Lok Sabha gave criminality a Christmas bonanza by passing a radically amended Criminal Procedure Code Bill along with seven other Bills, all of which were passed within a mere 17 minutes without any time-wasting frivolities such as debate and discussion which, in effect, prevents law enforcement authorities from arresting someone who has committed a crime which carries a prison sentence of up to seven years.
Instead of clapping behind bars the accused in such cases which include attempt to commit culpable homicide; voluntarily causing grievous hurt; cheating; outraging a woman's modesty; death caused by negligence; and assaulting the President the police will now have to issue a 'notice of appearance' to the individual concerned who will be expected to 'cooperate' with the investigation. (via Free-for-all crime-Subverse-Opinion-The Times of India).
Ignorant journalists like Jug Suraiya and his ilk, should not be eligible to benefit from such exemptions. These lap-top toting, ignorant journos are a new breed of 'angutha chaaps'. What these English speaking, Westernized journos, dont know and cant care about are these inconvenient facts: -
- India has the lowest per capita prison population in the world.
- India also has the lowest police-to-population ratio in the world.
- India has the second highest national gun stock in the world.
- India has the largest number of poor in the world.
Western systems of law and order predict that India should have the highest crime rate in the world - which is not true. India has low-to-average crime rate compared to the Rest of the World.
Juggy-boy - open your mind, before you open your mouth! Or is it before you open your 'laptop'?
