United States – Political Immunity

United States – Political Immunity

Padmini Arhant

In the latest Spy gate scandal there are serious questions on developments granting political immunity to those directly involved in the matter.

What is the reason behind U.S.Attorney General William Barr’s statement exempting the former President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden from criminal investigation despite Gen. Michael Flynn case from the beginning until now lead to then highest office bearers i.e. President and Vice President of the United States in 2016?

The same would apply to United States Senate interestingly from the Republican aisle the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell elected by Kentucky voters and South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham maintaining similar position on the former U.S. administration.

United States proudly claimed as the land of Justice inhibiting justice and facilitating widespread corruption in all three branches of the government i.e. the executive, legislative and judiciary is a flagrant betrayal of public trust and blatant evasion of accountability.

The abuse of power undermines democracy and holds the electorate hostage protecting political establishment with impunity on crimes and unlawful engagement that would otherwise subject others not in the same league to the fullest extent of law. 

The system must be fair and equal holding none above law without exception barring political bias and amnesty.

The preference and prejudice subvert democratic principles allowing politics and those exerting control from within and outside to misuse public office and taxpayers money for private and political interests.

United States voters in the blue, red and purple states are burdened with the responsibility to free democracy under siege from secret society run and managed deep state as well as their representatives in government.

Likewise, the policy defending China and World Health Organization directly responsible for global pandemic affecting 5.1 million people and 330,000 deaths and counting of which 100,000 pertain to United States and the remaining related to rest of the world notwithstanding economic collapse worldwide consuming lives and costing livelihoods is reprehensible. 

Needless to say the buck stops at the highest order viz. with the Presidency of the United States expected to exercise executive authority executed on other matter and in this particular health and economic disaster heeding bad political advise favoring China as well as WHO conform to collusion and complicity.

China’s influence over World Health Organization is demonstrably corruption and cronyism that led to colossal failure to save lives from the deadly virus extended to regions across the globe with governments and leaderships facing severe criticisms and possible rejection in election in their respective domain.

Any laxity in appropriate response and actions against China and World Health Organization authority at the helm by governments worldwide would sabotage credibility and electability among own population for ignoring pandemic victims’ tragedies enduring loss of lives of their loved ones and economic devastation.

All those affected by crimes and willful wrongdoing deserve justice that cannot be denied based on arbitrary intervention and egregious decisions.

Thank you.

India – Victims of mass genocide in 1984 anti-Sikhs riots case

India – Victims of mass genocide in 1984 anti-Sikhs riots case

Padmini Arhant

Delhi court verdict on the killings of two Sikh residents in mob violence following the assassination of Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1984 is welcome.

However, the death sentence to one and life term to another convicted in the crime representing capital punishment with death penalty could have been life sentence to both on the crime.  The death penalty is elimination of those convicted whereas life term with mandatory labor in the cell to provide for victims’ families having deprived them of an earning member would be meaningful creating an opportunity for the guilty to repent and pay penance to victims and their families subjected to life-long ordeal.

Importantly, these killers convicted in the heinous crime were operatives deserving to be brought to justice. 

Nonetheless, the actual perpetrators were leading political figures in Congress Party viz. Jagdish Tytler, late H.K.L.Bhagat, Sajjan Kumar, Dharamdas Shastri, Lalit Maken, Babu Ram Sharma, the late Arun Nehru to name a few as well as celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan were pivotal in instigating mob violence and arousing anti-Sikh sentiments that led to abhorrent genocide of Sikh population in Delhi and Punjab.

The punishment to catalysts or agents while setting the architects and instigators free witnessed time and time again in politically motivated ethnic violence and criminal activity is a serious assault on judicial efficacy making law nothing more than convenience exempting those with political clout and stardom in society.

Even worse is these offenders having never expressed remorse for their authorized killings are celebrated and revered as heroes adding insult to victims’ injury in modern age.

The law of the land enforced without any privilege to or prejudice against any holding none above law especially the famous, influential and powerful invariably granted immunity to crimes against humanity would exemplify independent judiciary and democratic values in recognition of victims’ rights not the accused alone in delivering justice in a real civilized society.

Furthermore, seizing assets of affluent members in politics and entertainment involved in these criminal actions for punitive damages to survivors and victims’ dependents would alleviate victims plight in the otherwise carte blanche abuse of power and celebrity status in society.

Accordingly, the application of law against every one of these individuals alive today who were consciously engaged in promoting massacre of innocent citizens in Sikh community in 1984 is incumbent on Indian judiciary and collectively as the nation proclaimed the world’s largest democracy.

Thank you.

India – Unconditional Release of Human Rights Activists

September 10, 2018

India – Unconditional Release of

Human Rights Activists

Padmini Arhant

The latest development on human rights activists’ extension on house arrest pending Supreme Court hearing on September 12th, 2018 is suo motu in the backdrop of absence of credible evidence against all of them compared to the other two members Hindutva leaders Milind Ekbote and Manohar ‘Sambhaji’ Bhide, associated with BJP government accused of instigating the Bhima-Koregaon violence and accordingly FIR filed against them.

The contrasting treatment highlights the misappropriation of judicial process detaining the former in house arrest while exempting the latter from any inquiry.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi headed BJP government in Delhi directing the Supreme Court is evident as claimed in another controversial national issue on Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, where the Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath representing the BJP government in Delhi asserted BJP’s unilateral influence on Indian Supreme Court over all matter.

Upon reviewing the facts on the arrests of five human rights activists and government concerted crackdown on dissent violently pursuing journalists, civil rights activists, writers, poets and intellectuals in society targeted for voicing concerns on the plight of marginalized, disenfranchised and isolated segments as well as women and minorities in India, the government action clearly is a blatant violation of constitution that guarantees all citizens in the Republic of Indiathe inalienable right to express views and opinion on any issues including disagreement on any government policies and programs or the lack thereof affecting citizenry.

Since these five human rights activists have been unlawfully held on unsubstantiated charges, the government and judiciary combined could no longer prolong the case that is arguably politically motivated to set precedence in curbing democratic rights nationwide. The overcast leads to prejudice besides failing to meet the legal requirement on judgment against the accused in the satisfaction of beyond reasonable doubt for conviction.

Under these circumstances, the state infringement on civil rights of the human rights activists denying them constitution granted freedom of expression in public or private sessions is a serious contravention deserving civil debate and legislation to prevent misuse of authority at any level. Those who were engaged in this instance against the human rights activists are to be investigated and held accountable to set the procedure for future reference. The judicial reform in Parliament is equally pertinent to allow the legal course to function flawlessly expediting hearings and decisions across the board beginning with law enforcement action on citizens complaints to court proceedings without state intervention in obstruction of justice.

The five human rights activists – Varavara Rao, Vernon Gonzalves, Arun Ferreira, Sudha Bharadwaj and Gautam Navlakha are to be released unconditionally effective immediately and all allegations against them discharged restoring their dignity and sanctity of Indian democracy that would otherwise be reflected under siege.
