[Reader-list] Hindu article

[Venugopalan K M]

Dear Bipin,

>Why I doubt Teesta working, since she never show her will to fight for the
rights of Hindu, Sikh in Sikh riots ,Kashmir Pundits in Kashmir, Bhagalpur
victim, even she has not turned up in Nandigram, Singur. So how can one
trust her neutrality? This is solid proof that she is working with guidance
of their source of funds...

Sounds strange!
We were talking about Teesta's specific role in taking up many cases of
organized  violence perpetrated against a section of citizens by another
section, which were also actively abeted by the Gujarat state administration
by means of its several commissions and serious omissions.This has
absolutely nothing to do with Teesta's not voicing her concerns about
victims of violence elsewhere.Teesta is not a God incarnated to punish all
those devils in Kashmir and Punjab,and Delhi!Perhaps we give less attention
to what she did not do than what she really did to bring to book the
culprits of Gujarat carnage and violence.
Certainly, many of us here are more concerned with the culpable deeds of
Modi administration ,like virtually declaring  a lawless goonda raj against
the Muslim population of Gujarat during those dreadful days of 2002.
If at all the Zahira case and other cases related to the state violence
exist as a serious criminal case ,it is thanks to lot of commendable work
done by human rights activists like Teesta. I would not object even
accepting overseas funds by her as long as the funding is legally valid.
Regarding the court comments, I am not that woried. Didn't the SC opine in
Afsal case like "that the collective conscience  of the Nation demands
awarding capital punishment to Afsal even in the context of lack of evidence
that would have otherwise been  necessary in proving the charges?
Regards,
Venu
