[Reader-list] लालगढ़: एक छोटे लोकतंत्र का बडे़ लोकतंत्र के लिये खतरा

[Rajendra Bhat Uppinangadi]

Dear all,

 one of the common tricks of pro groups who oppose law enforcing
agencies and their presence for upholding laws of the constitutionally
formed nation state is to propagate the falsehoods of atrocities
gainst such law keeping forces.

  During the riots, fanatics of one faith propagate that police is
partial, in another state, where the minority is majority, like a
Shopian, the officers who raped were of their own faith, but protest
was selective, blaming the CRPF, later found to be misdemenour of
police and district health officers.!
 Maoists encash the bad governance and the brutal colonial overhang of
the police, states use the power to inflict miseries, but use of
violence always gets more violence, whether by state or by any
movement for better governance.
