Criminal Silence of Mombatti Brigade on Killing of Sadhus is Baffling
The criminal silence of the Lutyen Delhi’s mombatti (candle lighting) gang is
shocking. Come any incident involving a member of the minority community and
they create a cacophony of noise to emerge as saviour of humanity. Is it that
those who were lynched were two sadhus
that it does not matter for them? They were going gaga over the good governance
of Maharashtra. Not a word of condemnation of the police or the State’s law and
order situation. Not even a word of sympathy for the sadhus who were on the way
to attend last rites of their guru in Gujarat.
Three people including two sadhus and a driver were lynched
on 16 April, 125 KM from Mumbai, a small village in Maharashtra’s Palghar
village. The police did not do anything, rather the policeman was seen handing
over the 70-year old sadhu to the murderous
mob. It was the most heart-rending sight that would disturb anyone’s conscience
for a long time to come. The old man was desperately clinching the hand of the
policeman but was mercilessly allowed to be beaten to death.
The Maharashtra government has suspended two
police officers and arrested more than 100 people. A special investigation team has been set up
too. Hopefully, we will be able to reach the truth and the guilty will be punished.
The government will need to do some explaining on why it was
silent till the news of the killing that happened on 16th came to light on the 19th. Did the police not inform the
headquarters and the media about the incident that day? Why did the media keep silent
till it became viral on social media?
Maharashtra Chief Minister Udhav Thackeray has already ruledout a communal angle. It was surprising how could he do so? Inquiry may reveal
a deep conspiracy, who knows. His desperation shows that there is something
more to it than meets the eyes. Let there be a fair investigation.
The area where it happened is a Left bastion. The CPM has lone
representative in the assembly from there (Dahanu) which is a part of Palghar
Lok Sabha seat.
Remember Bhima Koregaon violence and the role of Gautam
Naulakha for fuelling violence. The Supreme Court refused to grant him bail and
he had to finally surrender before the NIA. We have also seen the frustration
of the one-book wonder Arundhati Roy making brainless allegations that the Indian
government is exploiting Covid-19 to suppress Muslims. She said “situation in India
is approaching genocidal”. She does not need to produce any proof since she is
self acclaimed goddess of the Human Rights brigade in India.
Was it then the anger of the Naxals and the Left that
innocent sadhus and their hired driver became victims of hatred? The incident
was the biggest manifestation of hate. Hate for what? The sadhus were not child
lifters. The police station in-charge had clarified to lynchers whom he knew
(as per the FIR). And one needs to
remember that only a handful of young men wielding lathis are seen giving
expression to this hatred.
It would not be surprising if the Leftists, Islamists and
the Congress have joined hands to create tension in society. Already there is
enough evidence about some sections trying to thwart the efforts of the
government to contain Corona. Is there a bigger conspiracy or is it a simple
case of mistaken identity? Only proper investigation will reveal. But if the
investigation is impartial is the moot question?
The two sadhus have been identified as Chikane Maharaj
Kalpavrikshgiri (70) and Sushil Giri Maharaj (35) from the Varanasi-based Shri
Panch Dashnam Juna Akhara. The third person Nilesh Telgane (35) was their driver.
Juna Akhada has clarified that these two sadhus along with the driver were
going to Gujarat to attend the last rites of their guru Shri Mahant Ramgiri.
The silence of the award
wapasi brigade who often masquerades as Human Rights Activists is really
baffling. Does such a gruesome killing not hurt them irrespective of the
identity of the lynchers? Does the silence point further to the conspiracy theory?
