Why not an FIR?
This morning's paper reports a person getting injured in the eye as a result of an attack by headload workers. The local police station refuses to register an FIR. Early enough we are getting to feel the heat of the LDF's return to power.Shielding the CITU or any mazdoor sangh becomes the order of the day once the Marxist party-led government comes to power.
If you know a person with strong commitment to the Left, just watch how he exploits the worker, be it the skilled or the unskilled worker. He will extract more work from the otherwise arrogant worker, pay him less b'cos the word'comrade' binds them!
Our Home Minister has made the appropriate noises - to soothe the fears of the common man.The police force is under pressure, they are overworked, there are fewer numbers than what is required...... Does that deter them from carrying out what is considered their duty - taking an FIR in a situation such as the one mentioned earlier.
A thought that constantly bothers the person who has neither party allegiance, nor money power- how does he cope with such a crisis? Nobody, I repeat nobody will come to the aid of the common man. You're in for trouble if u seek the help of a local ward politico to seek advice, he will extract money for his advice and keep coming back to collect money for financial support of all kinds.
One does not have to be a loyalist of any party to understand that if the same was to happen when the UDF govt was in power, today's newspapers would have carried a box item announcing a bandh protesting against 'wrongful FIR by the police' against the headload workers.
That would in no way be a solace to Chinnaswamy and his family. The damage to the eye, the trauma undergone could all have been avoided if they had 'PAID UP'. Yes succumb or face the consequences, that's the m'ge we get - the people who voted for CHANGE.
We need CITIZENS' FORUMS to provide support when, the State fails. Don't we?

yes, you are right . we need citizens forums- not toothless ones-but well funded and with an effective media outlet.
real scary, isn't it? what's the opposition doing? they should take a leaf out of the previous opposition's book and take to the streets to expose the present governing outfit.
but then the congress party always had a misplaced sense of gentlemanly r or are they scared of the police going bersek?
