Why are you crying Rahul?

That law takes its own course is well known. But, it sends quivers to certain faces and grief to the others is well known as well.

The latest release verdict given to the killers of India's ex-prime minister has sent more shocks than quivers. If his son is denouncing the verdict, what can be expected of the vox populi. His sentiments seems more or less synchronized with the sentiments of the general public.

Neglecting the prospects of his party in the coming election, Rahul's ire has sent seismic waves across the country. And it will have devastating ramifications in Tamil Nadu also--as far as congress' electoral prospects are concerned. But, one prominent question still lingers in my mind that why the congress regime has waited for ten years to decide on the fate of the culprits. Haven't they made mess of this affair? And, after twenty years if the supreme court has rescinded his hanging--and turned it into a life sentence--then it seems right that it should not be delayed any more. For, the justice delayed is justice denied.

Therefore, the statement issued by Mr Rahul Gandhi should be seen as the cry of a son for his beloved father. Its an act of ostentation, not a remorse for the injustice done to the slain ex-premier; he would have dictated terms when the mercy petitions were pending with the various authorities in his government, not now. India have seen his sheer astuteness in politics for the last ten years, and the degree of loot, graft and inflation in government institutions as well as in the private ones stands witness to the claim that he is riding on the charisma of his lineage, not his persona.

Generations have known to be perished in search for judgments on petty issues; many have died in the penitentiary and many are still languishing in jail convicted in a crime much inferior in degrees. So, its time now to give a green signal to the reforms in the judicial system, so that people get justice on time, not the dates.
