When asked why he did not go to India gate to meet the protesters, the Home Minister compared the protesters to Maoists saying, "It's very easy to say that the Home Minister should go meet protesters there. Tomorrow if BJP workers demonstrate or if Maoists demonstrate with weapons, will I go and meet them too?
Many congratulation to all them. Atleast they got out of their home and did something.
Timely and successful implementation of law is necessary to act as deterrent. And having a provision for a strong punishment (although in extreme cases), surely will have some impact.
On rape case vs homicide - It is not appropriate to relate multiple issues and then do nothing about any one of them. We may have to pull the weed one by one.
But at least there will be a provision in future.
When a man's asinine instincts take over, worrying about the law would be the last thing on his mind.
Delhi Police constable Subhash Tomar, who was injured in Sunday's clashes, died at the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital in Delhi on Tuesday morning. Tomar was seriously injured after protests at India Gate turned violent and police lathicharged the agitators, some of whom also pelted stones at policemen.
The police have registered a case in this regard. The police say they have a video clip of the men who injured the constable and the case will be treated as a murder case.
Police say eight people were arrested on Monday in connection with the injury of the constable and were booked for rioting and attempt to murder. All of them were give bail after a bail bond submitted by Aam Aadmi Party member Manish Sisodia. One of those who were arrested has been identified as Chaman Kumar of AAP. This puts the Aam Aadmi Party under scrutiny.
Government slow action has taken precious life of policeman. government please wake up or-else face tough task is in future.
The politicians especially PM,HM and CM owes this death. Had they come out of their house on Saturday itself and met the protesters, the anti social elements would not have got an opportunity to seize the protest to make it violent.
^^ it seems that once you align yourself with a party it becomes kinda hard to shut up when a situation calls for it, whether it be communists saying that this furor is being raised coz the perpetrators were poor or the aaps defending the death of the policeman.
Sad that we have have lost life of a policeman, violence is never going to benefit anyone. In another incident in Manipur, a journalist was killed by police bullet during the protest.
Everyone has the right to protest peacefully and that was all were doing at Delhi but due to Govt inaction/delay in taking action has turned it violent.
Also there are news that anti social elements entered the venue to take advantage of the situation and turned it violent.
sid_donnydarko the people out there were not rioters, just because they were protesting there does not make them rioters.
Government Inaction/Delay? WTF kind of excuse is that?!? Why did it turn violent in the first place? If the protestors were peaceful to begin with then why didn't they just leave quietly when the police asked them too?
sid_donnydarko WTF? Please dont tell me that I am happy that a policeman while performing his duty has lost life. Are some kind of mind reader who does it using VNC? Stop your BS.
And please open your eyes, not all the protests needs to be organized. This was one of them and it happened because people, especially our younger generation were filled with anger of getting raped each day.
So you feel that government was very swift in taking the action? On Saturday, police has resorted to push the protesters 6 times with water cannons. What you feel, that was required?
Even the CM has told that that kind of harsh treatment was not required.
