The recommendations of various panels, committees of Government look very impressive on paper but those suggestions would remain meaningless and utterly useless if even basic things like filing First Information Reports(FIRs) remain a problem for citizens. The Government and politicians have always been reactive to change rather than being proactive to change and this is always a big hindrance for developing economies like India to flourish.
The major feature of a political party(which is hard to ignore really) is the abuse of power and laxity,ignorance shown towards the interests of 'aam aadmi' for ages but time is catching up with these parties. The recent gangrape and death of a 23 year old student in Delhi has forced the government to act but still only speeches and interviews are being heard and the ground reality has remained the same.
It took our 'silent' and 'shy' PM 7 days to issue a public statement and not to mention with a gaffe. 'Theek hai' at the end of his speech managed to incite humour at the various Social networking sites.
An excerpt from his speech says like this :
" I am a father of three daughters so I can understand the pain."
I want to ask our PMji is it like if you have a daughter you only understand the pain and for the rest of the public it is very easy to swallow? The incident was horrific even for an orphan to think of.
Sushil Kumar Shinde went one step ahead in this race and compared students with Maoists. May be Mr Shinde has forgotten to enlighten us the reason for this comparison which would put even Digvijay Singh(a very experienced person in giving headaches with his stupid remarks) to shame. The number of members of this All India Insensitive Club is increasing day by day with the likes of Sanjay Nirupam and Abhijit Mukherjee, Asaram Bapu(MD of the club) along with some others across the political spectrum joining in.
A broader view of the picture reveals that there is a lack of efficiency among the Policemen, bureaucrats which can be attributed largely to political pressures. And the fact still remains that men have got away with murders, rapes and other crimes. Police ask uncomfortable and ridiculous questions to rape survivors. Cases run for years and some more years. And this is the situation with this Government.
The political leadership encourages, incites and incentivises disorder and lawlessness. One conference and a commission or two seeking suggestions from State Governments and the public on what changes need to be made to the law and the administration to handle crimes like rape, is necessary but it is inadequate. The reason I say that because the changes needed for effective governance have to start with the politicians who need to get out of their comfort zone and bring in some efficiency, transparency and accountability.
Also, there is no way recommendations by a commission, is going to make change happen, because the fact of the matter is that the States invariably run the police force as per their political requirements. Many times Police refuse to register FIR and these instances go unrecorded just like the untold cases of rapes and abuses of many women and girls.
There is a dire need to inject a mechanism in the police and the judiciary departments to work more efficiently, honestly and effectively towards any case. The CMs of various states along with Ministry of Home Affairs need to work together and seize the initiative or just wait for the feelings to die down and go back to old inefficient ways.
