That's wrong!

Shambulal Raiger had hacked 45 year old Mohammed Afrajul - a migrant labourer from West Bengal - to death, set his body on fire and got his 18 year old nephew to record the entire sequence on video, all in the name of 'love jihad'.

Mobile internet services have been stopped and prohibitory orders, preventing the gathering of large groups have been imposed. Updesh Rana, the leader of a fringe group has been spewing venom online and has given a call for 'Udaipur chalo' on Facebook. He's trying to mobilise support for the killer, Shambulal.

I've been stunned to see such warped minds, in action, in this country. I've a series of queries regarding this unfortunate incident which are:-

      (a) Who's Shambulal to dispense justice on fellowmen?
      (b) I'm sure his 18 year old nephew is educated and mature to have a mind of his own. How could
            he go along with his uncle's heinous ways? Isn't he progressive for his age?
      (c) The police should have been quick to impose shoot-at-sight orders.

It just isn't right. The government of Rajasthan must take immediate action to sort this issue out.

The Supreme Court's decision of setting up 12 fast track courts - all across the country - to try 1,581 politicians for the cases registered against them and to embark on a speed trial is a step in the right direction. Hope it heralds a step further to have clean guys coming into politics to participate in the general elections of '19.

Mohanachandran's medical bulletin.

"Mohan is now back in the neuro ICU and without complications. His temperature is back to normal. The pus formation in the skull has been removed with a syringe and the results of its culture is sterile and so, he's said to be out of danger. The movements of his eyes and limbs are improving. He's reluctant to open his eyes in front of his family, however, when called by the doctors and nurses, he's responding more freely". Our prayers may help him to regain his health. From Vipinachandran.
