One of the persons involved in the killing of rajiv gandhi had been sentenced to death, against which decision he appealed. And the cbi (Central Bureau of Investigation) said that Nobody had the Right to Question the Investigations.
What are We, a Whole Nation of Slaves?
On one side, politicos say that People have to 'enter' politics in order to make comments on things political. Then we have the Draconian IT66A, which has proved to be of great use ONLY to politicos. And now this from the cbi.
The Administration - (down with the word government) - Exists ONLY IN ORDER to Make the Lives of the Citizens Better. ALL branches of the Administration are there Just for this.
The Fast that +Anna Hazare has undertaken is over Such things too. His +Lokpal Bill covers such things also. That Every official, Every judge, Every politician, right up to the president, be under the Scrutiny of the Citizen.
As Such, Each and Every office holder is Answerable to the Citizen. In a Democracy, Each and Every official CAN be questioned, and Will Have to be questioned. Failure to keep the officials under check has led to our present situation, which is a Pseudo-aristocracy. Each and Every official, while mouthing sweet talk, thinks he/she is aristocracy. Well, they can 'think' that. Why should we prevent them? But officials 'behaving' like aristos Will be Questioned, and if necessary, receive a goodly kick on their generous backsides.
In the present state of things, the Citizen WILL have to Undergo the decisions of the officials of the state. If the courts so order it, the Citizen will be jailed or even hanged. But that does not Automatically, or Necessarily, mean that the judgements were Right! judges and ministers are not God. They are Not Infallible. Corruption among judges is not Unknown. And the first concern of 'law-makers' is to make laws which would benefit 'them.'
The Citizen can be wrong in his questions, or he can be wrong, period. But, Every Citizen has Every Right to Question the Administration. The Administration Exists for the Citizen, and is Subservient to the Citizen.
