Why the delay?

A guy makes inflammatory speeches against another community. The contents were full of hate and he should have come under the law's scanner. In fact, he should have been arrested and legal action initiated against him.

Instead what happened was bizarre. The government of Andhra Pradesh did not take any action till the media, by its continuous coverage, has forced them out of its stupor. The man is yet to be arrested though but his sibling has given us a bit of 'good' news - Akbaruddin Owaisi, the rabble rouser will surrender before the law! As though, he's doing us a favour!!

Why was the hesitation in taking action? A mistake has to be punished, the law cannot afford to sit idle because that will set a precedent for outrageous actions in the future. The government cannot afford to abide by the 'wait and watch policy' even if its actions are not acceptable to certain sections. Especially, if it's a matter that disrupts social harmony.

And for god's sake don't play politics while dealing with him!


Tailpiece.

Wrongdoings have to be corrected. Hope that the individual is brought to book without any further delay.
