Ms. Jyoti Yadav, under the tutelage of Mr. Shekhar Gupta, has become an accomplished “secular” journalist.
One cannot but admire the mastery with which she hides the communal angle of the heinous crime. She gaslights us readers into believing that this was a “secular” crime where the religion of the victims and the perpetrators simply did not matter.
Congratulations to The Print for adding one more “secular” journalist to the media industry.
Justice served after 32 years is injustice. Indian judiciary never fails to make a fool of itself.
What is surprising though is Jyoti Yadav’s attempt to brush under the carpet the blatantly communal nature of the crime committed. Had the victim been from a minority community she would definitely have explored the communal angle.
This, unfortunately, is what secularism means to media houses in today’s India.
Now this will go to the higher courts, where the whole process will be repeated Viz hearing again, recording evidence, calling witnesses, sorting out the arguments of both sides. So all the work done by the lower court becomes pointless. India’s judiciary is a joke.
Can anyone imagine Hindus in Pakistan/Bangladesh doing the same to Muslim women?
But in our secular nation, such things are the norm. All in the name of secularism.
Justice served after 32 years is not justice. It’s gross injustice.
