An old hackneyed axiom says that
'the chicken is never declared innocent in the court of hawks', though it’s an
African saying but it stands so true in India that we witness it quite often
with the latest one from Mumbai. Wasn't it anybody's guess that the MLAs
involved in the thrashing of the cop Sachin Suryavanshi will have the last
laugh? CCTV footages were told to be visually muddy and the onlookers were
reduced to an incompetent witnesses so what else we people are given to
understand but that, when politicians are in the dock even smoking guns can be
rubbished. Thanks to our intellectual faculties and acquired wisdom that we can
easily second-guess the casualty when a politician is one of the belligerents.
They play accused, investigator, advocate and the judge lock stock and barrel
so was there any possibility of them not coming clean in the panel report? The
suspension stays on for the cop and an enquiry is imminent for his fault of
discharging his duties and grossing out the MLA by stopping his car followed by
a clean chit to the MLAs with rank arrogance that roughed up a man in uniform
and breached the decorum of the assembly.
