India – Justice Delayed is Justice Denied

Padmini Arhant

Attention : Indian electorate nationwide.

The voters in Hindi heartland, northern, northeast, eastern, western and central India in particular positioned to vote for your choice of political party and leadership, you need to arrive at an informed decision when you are trusting your destiny and future in the hands of those who may not be the most reliable and even qualified to serve you and resolve the burgeoning issues concerning you and the nation at large.

Every Indian must do all that is required to acquaint oneself about political candidates promising moon and stars while their focus remains on one and only one thing and that is personal ambition to gain or retain power.

How did Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP party Supremo Amit Shah maneuver their way to helm in politics?

Definitely not by trekking the slippery slope instead the one leaving no money trail or witnesses to their crimes abusing power against people granting them authority.

This video is about Prime Minister Narendra Modi flunking polygraph test on self and issues discussed during the rare and selective channel interview as Prime Minister responsible for soaring unemployment, demonetization, GST, farmers distress, women’s status though should have touched base on PM Narendra Modi’s spouse abandoned since marriage, national security and more.

The following video is on Godhra Violence in Gujarat in 2002 when Narendra Modi was newly elected Chief Minister of the western state in India in 2001.  Subsequent to assuming office, the terrible and tragic communal violence resulting in hundreds of innocent Muslims and Hindus loss of lives expose then Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, both representing BJP behind obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence and murder of key witnesses, Senior police officer investigating the crime including the judge presiding the trial at that time.

The latest testimony and revelations on this dark episode of India’s political history and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s tainted political career clearly involving then Chief Minister Narendra Modi, the incumbent seeking re-election to second term in office lasting five years along with his colleague, confidante and BJP party chief Amit Shah (no stranger to corruption and criminality) deserves unbiased fair hearing and thorough investigation delivering justice to the deceased and many victims in politics instigated bloodshed.

The election commission’s attention and intervention in this matter would confirm constitutionally established institution’s autonomy and ethical efficacy to function independently protecting electoral integrity and accountability in the world’s largest democracy.

In the current election, the electorate preparing to cast their ballot beginning April 11 until May 22nd 2019, to elect government representing them and the nation of 130 crores or 1.3 billion population, the political members’ individual profile and activities of those in power during their term in office highlighting character and performance or the lack thereof should have bearing on voters decision prior to electing them as not only their representative but also to lead the nation as honorable, credible, respectable and trustworthy leader in the national and international domain.

Unfortunately, the regimes in power routinely subvert constitution, democracy and electoral mandate to benefit them and those funding their election campaign. When candidates vying for office of Prime Minster and other crucial ministerial posts are implicated of various corruption and criminal charges not barring complicity in communal violence and murder of innocent citizens as well as derailing judicial process, then the nation has responsibility to pause and engage in bringing these entities to justice rather than elevating them with coveted title such as Prime Minister or cabinet minister, political party chieftain and so on. 

When critical information surface directly involving those running for re-election as Prime Minister or debutant for that matter, then institutions such as judiciary and election commission are subject to litmus test by the nation in conducting hearing, inquiry and application of laws exempting none above law regardless of their political background.

The election flooded with black money and cash used to buy vulnerable voters by political parties especially the ones floating on slush funds to afford extravagant political campaign, 

Is the Election Commission of India independent to investigate and intercept illegal transactions in the absence of transparency on campaign financing and funding source?

Thus far, the election commission of India and other institutions’ inactions suggest they are hamstrung by political power misusing authority despite contemporary designation as caretaker government.

Indian electorate awareness and participation raising questions in all these fronts is absolutely important to save democracy.

Thank you.
