Once again protests are going on in Delhi demanding justice for crime against minor. Strict law is there, police machinery is there.Where is the solution, can addition of death penalty in the law is the solution. I do not think so. Was this matter is taken seriously by the police or the government unless protests started. Therefore where is the solution in the law or accountability. Has the police or government acted in time, perhaps the girl could have been rescued unhurt. Off course strong law is required, but is not the final solution for such social crimes.
Today crises is not of law, it is of accountability. If we want solution, we have to make both society and police accountable.Take the incident of Jaipur, how society acted. One can easily say that may be because, society feels that if they come forward, police will entangle them in the matter. This is where we need amendments in the law and its implementation procedures.How an important part of the system Police and Government can be so much insensitive that it waited for 3 days to act unless protests started. It is time for action, not of theoretical solutions. And action comes from accountability. Mere suspension of police officers that too with the fear of strong protests can not justify it. In case police felt that they are accountable perhaps this brutality may not have happened and Gudia could have been saved.
It is time a debate should be started, not for change of law, but how Government, Police and Society can be made accountable for the crime taking place around. It is time for ACTION not of THEORETICAL SOLUTIONS.
