Defying Judiciary!


Panchayet minister's statement that bike rallies would continue despite court verdict banning them during Panchayet Election that has already kicked off smacks of his utter indifference to judiciary.Although the Panchayet minister is accustomed to make off-the-cup remarks, the present one is a direct affront to judicial system.It, in fact, has enthused Trinomool activists and they took out bike rallies at some areas in full form.Court has sharply reacted to this blatant flouting of its verdict and asked the administration to submit affidavit as to why bike rallies could not be stopped.What's very interesting even after court's stricture rallies were seen at some places.It's to be seen what action judiciary takes against this nonchalant attitude of the govt. Earlier, Chief minister herself made no bone about expressing her displeasure against judiciary on several occasions.Nor has she even dither to comment that now a days court judgement can be purchased by money.She has not spare other democratic institutions either.Recently' she has attacked State election Commission(SEC) in the strongest possible language.She even remarked she would have removed Mira Pande, the chief of SEC, had she majority in Assembly, although she has no constitutional power to remove Ms.Pande.Some of her minsters have also joined the fray.They have criticized her in filthy language.Ms. Pande's fault is her sustained efforts to conduct Panchayet polls in free, fair and peaceful manner.Incidentally, despite her strong determination she had to succumb to administrative non-cooperation at many places in the first phase of Panchayet polls. What is most worrying is a section of Press that is acting like a watch dog pointing out lapses of the administration every now and then is also made a target of scathing attack.In reality, any voice that crticises govt incur the displeasure of the ruling party and it's tagged Maoist. However, dissenting voices can't be muted this way. People of Kamduni village is a glaring instance.After rape-murder of an innocent student there people were initially awestricken but now they've overcome fear and have become the most vociferous lot demanding justice against the criminal assault perpetrated by the miscreants.What's more, here women are playing a significant role who dared give a fitting reply to the rebuff of Chief minister who as her wont marked them Maoist.It could not cow down them, nor could it dampen their spirit.On the contrary it has made them more determined to see the criminals duly punished.Let down by the investigating agency of the state govt(CID), they're now going to Delhi to meet Prez for justice.Inspired by Kamduni episode people in other villages are also following suit.Hopefully,it blows the trumpet of democracy.
