[Reader-list] No to Farcical Enquiries; Shame on the NHRC for its Partisanship

[Rajendra Bhat Uppinangadi]

WAH, WAH, KYA BAATH HAI,
    IF THE FINDING ARE AGAINST YOUR PERCEPTION THE FINDING IS WRONG.!

   This is typical of religious individuals who will do anything for their
"faith". ?
     The same is the issue in Ayodhya where a simple issue of ownership of a
plot of land with "religious " individuals joined my many such individuals
have made the lives of citizens in the nation miserable.?
     The courts which take decades to adjudicate, the prosecution which does
not get proper assistance by investigating authorities,investigating
individuals sway with political leaders to play the game of vote bank
politics do care two hoots about good governance in democratic nation.!

NGOs which spring up like mushrooms after the first few rains of the
monsoon, have different guises, human rights is one of them, and ofcourse
the election commissioner who now adorns the seat has his wife as chief of
NGo, so party which donated the public funds of MPs to this NGO got richly
rewarded by EVM fraud, very systematically.! Good governance , my foot.!

Regards,

Rajen.
