There has been so much coverage and comment from all and sundry, big and small on this subject these last few days! I have some questions that somebody needs to ask, but nobody is asking, and somebody needs to answer before the authorities take a call on this man!
Q 1. If this same crime was committed by a common man, would these same people have pleaded for a pardon for the common man or would they have bayed for his blood?
Q 2. What was the reason for him to acquire the assault rifles? Was it to satisfy his Macho image? What was the motive? Did he immediately approach the authorities for a licence? Would a common man be permitted to get an assault rifle for the reasons he may give?
Q 3. When he knew the source of the assault rifles, how come he did not question the motives of the people bringing them into this country? and if he did, why did he not inform the authorities that weapons were being brought into our country? As an honest citizen of India, it was his honored duty to inform the authorities that there was some weapons smuggling going on, and these are the people who are involved!!!
Q 4. Any tears that are being shed now that the punishment has been given are just crocodile tears, come on, these guys are actors!!! Any talk of his children and wife missing him and needing him, should be ignored, every criminal has that plea!!! Will the authorities accept such pleas from other criminals?
Q 5. Though he may not have planted any of the bombs, the fact that HE KNEW that the weapons etc were being smuggled in, and yet he did not inform the authorities makes him as much a terrorist as the ones who did smuggle the weapons etc and planted the bombs. Would that not have been the stand taken by the authorities if it was a common man who had committed the offence?
Finally, Just because his father was an MP and his sister is a sitting MP, he is being shown this leniency by all the big wigs. If India is to show its true Democratic colors this is a good opportunity. Otherwise, we are truly just a Banana Republic, or a Mango Republic!!!!
