It is a brilliant, reasonably priced, and mostly homemade aircraft with a stellar safety record; only two crashes in 24 years since its first flight. But its crash is a moment of introspection.
The Supreme Court`s attempt to right a wrong suffered by Mr. Nambi Narayanan is welcome. It also proves that the people fall prey to the political, religious machinations endemic in our democratic functioning. What is really worrisome is the media frenzy that assists and covers up these machinations.
It is also expected that our judiciary is impartial and evenhanded in such cases. There are innumerable cases where the highhandness of the State and the unprofessional journalism has caused irreparable damage to the lives of people. The case of acquittal of Chand Mian of Bareilly, Abduk Qayum Mansuri, Salim Shaikh, Abdul Mian Qadri, Abdul Sukeiman Ajmeri and Altaf Hussain of Ahmedabad in May 2014 in Akshardham Temple attack of 2002. The Court not only pulled up the Gujarat Police for framinf innocents but also pulled up the then Home Minister and Chief Minister of Gujarat for non-application of mind. This judgment was ignored by a very large section of the mainstream of India and no concern was shown to these people who had been meted out death sentence in case of the three accused and klife imprisonment. Their cries and suffering went unnoticed and even their approach to the Supreme Court met with inexplicable rejection. I request you to find out the reasons for rejection of their needs for due compensation for the trauma and the hardship they face for over ten years.And in numerous such cases where the acquitted persons have had no wherewithal to approach courts.
