Crime is a crime whether committed against a hindu, a muslim or a
sikh, associating it with any religion is wrong both morally as well as legally. It violates the right to equality, and a criminal doesn’t belong to any religion.

We all condemned the Kathua rape case, we asked for death penalty for the rapists; however, similar incident happened in Aligarh, not only the crime seems to be repeated but the whole history is being repeated, incident against one particular religion committed by a person belonging to another particular religion. The media trial has also started in the same way, so called politicians have started the blame game by shedding their crocodile tears.

No one is really concerned about the brutality that happened, the pain that kid must have felt, and most importantly why such incidents keep on repeating?

The reasons are 2 fold:
1. No fear of law because even in fast track cases execution tends to take more than 6 years.

2. Political protection, as our law makers are busy beating in baking their political breads, and least bothered about the safety of the common people.

We need to get united, if we really want justice, because no battle is won by a single warrior, it is the team that is needed
