Politicisation of the police force.

See what wanton politicisation of the police force has resulted in?

The press has been giving the details of the extravagant lifestyle of the accused in the 'TP Chandrasekharan' murder case at the Kozhikode jail. The case is all about the killing of an erstwhile comrade who had got popular when he'd taken a stand against the CPM, for the policies of the leadership. Sensing the danger that he'd cause to the party at the hustings, a killer gang was deputed to eliminate him and they did just that! The trial is going on right now and the verdict is to be pronounced shortly.

And then comes the story of the luxurious style of living of the accused in the jail premises. Smartphones and other sources of entertainment give the boys enough opportunity to post their messages on the social network - Facebook seems to be the most popular!

How do they manage to do this? It's clear as daylight that some of the jail authorities are helping the inmates. Are they the ones who've political inclination to the said party? Don't they realise that these set dangerous precedences? If the police force does not stay neutral the political dispensation that comes to power will pressurise it to do things of their interest resulting in its alienation from the general public.

Imagine the common man when he feels that he needs to be aligned with one political dispensation or the other while seeking justice for his genuine grievances! And despite the strong case that he might have in his favour, he fails to find succour simply because he's from the opposing camp!!


Tailpiece.

My sympathies are for the men in uniform. Their's is a damned existence. They're blamed if they do and they're blamed if they don't with their political masters exercising unbridled powers with no accountability, whatsoever.

Thank god, the public has begun to question the injustices being heaped upon them. And all the wrongdoers know fully well that they've nowhere to go if the very same public sits in judgement upon them!
