I'm talking in the context of Jayalalitha's acquital in the disproportionate assets case. As a common man, being an observer and a bystander, I'm baffled by the entire sequence of the case. Let me try to list out my queries that are begging for answers and I'm sure that many of you might be in the same dilemma as I'm in, right now:-
(a) The amount that she was supposed to have amassed was to the tune of Rs. 66 crores. How
has the disputed amount now reduced to just Rs.22 crores? The answer has also been given that
the prosecution was not able to give a credible argument regarding the slashed Rs.44 crores!
From childhood, I've been taught that stealing even a rupee showed one to be lacking in
integrity. Has someone in the prosecution had a change of heart?
(b) By the new observations, it looks as though the trial court was all at sea while handling the
case insofar as the technicalities are concerned. Can such serious lapses be made by a lower
court?
(c) If she has been cleared of all the charges as they've been proved baseless beyond doubt, why
is she not taking the complainant to court for slander and for besmirching her reputation? Or
is she being magnanimous(?) in victory, a quality that she's not known to possess?
The photograph showing one of her staunch supporters pouring milk over her poster and paying obeisance was splashed on all newspapers of the day. Just shows the levels to which political leaders are deified in our country.
Tailpiece.
Hope she provides good governance to her people in her latest 'avatar'. They deserve that for their unflinching faith in her!
