Now that the law has found him guilty, DO JUSTICE TO HIM!



Law - Above above all! Equal for all?
6th May 2015: The 13 years old 2002 hit & run case on actor Salman Khan finally heard a verdict. The actor is sentenced for 5 years of imprisonment. Glad that finally our jurisdiction took a call & its better to be late than never. No matter who you are, the law is above all but is it really equal for all?
Khan's case was one of 18.5 million criminal cases pending in India & the actor himself was among the 22.2 million people under trial. Most of us are happy to see that Khan is no special case in our Indian jurisdiction. Irrespective of who ever you are, if you are guilty then you'll treated the same way as others. Apart from Khan, there are few more cases in those millions where some business tycoons, politicians & celebrities are involved in such hit & run cases however our government has a different verdict for them.

10th Jan 1999: Sanjeev Nanda, A student of Wharton Business School killed 6 people (from his BMW) & the court has sentenced him 2 years of jail term (which he had already spent), and an added large fine in addition to 2 additional years of community service.

12th Nov 2006: Alistair Pereira who belongs to the family of well known realtors, smashed his vehicle hitting and running over 15 people in 2006, 7 of whom died while 8 were injured. He was sentenced for 3 years of imprisonment.

December 1993: Puru Raaj Kumar (son of late actor Raaj Kumar) (December 1993): ran over eight people sleeping on a pavement in Bandra out of which 3 died and the others were seriously injured. He is said to have paid a fine initially and the matter was settled out of court.

1999: Sanjeev Nanda, grandson of Admiral SM Nanda, ran his BMW over six people, including three Delhi Police officers. 2 constables and 2 others died on the spot. The Supreme Court in 2012 reduced his prison sentence to the two years, added a substantial penalty, and sentenced him to do community service for two years.

Neel Chatterjee, Manish Khatau, Ravindra Mhatre & many more are such names are there on file that got away with a fine & hardly a few months/years in prison. Indeed Khan has broken the law & he must be punished however why this bias attitude towards him? 5 years on imprisonment for him & the people who killed more than 3, for them just 2-3 years of imprisonment? Is it because the name is "Salman Khan"? We not playing the game, “How many killed by whom” but if the law has the provision for other celebs & business tycoons then why not Khan? What about those millions of cases which are still pending in the court? Most importantly, put yourself in Khan's shoes & think. If you were in his position, would you be asking for justice or a way to get out of this s**t! 
We are not supporting Khan for his action but for the kind of person he is. Why the jurisdiction is not focusing of what Khan did for the family of the lost victims? Did anyone interviewed the constable (Salman's bodyguard) who was with him at the time of accident about the compensation he might have received from Khan? Did anyone figure the kind of amount Khan has spent in charity since then? Did anyone checked with those who received Khan’s help? No!
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT DAMMIT! This case got a hike ‘cos Salman Khan was involved. Now that the law has found him guilty, DO JUSTICE TO HIM!  

I stand by him who always stands for everyone!

--- THE OBSESSION --- We all dint realize when our communication went from telegraph, telephone, etc to Skype & Facebook. Now since we are talking about Facebook or Twitter i.e. Social Networking which started from fantasy & passion, slowly & steadily became more of an "OBSESSION". I guess it wont be wrong if I say that likes, followers, shares, connections, etc shows ones credibility in the virtual world. Creating your identity on the virtual world is good but at what cost? As per sources, users are just adding unknown & unwanted people to their friendlist, sharing their personal photos & posts, etc. The reason to do these kind of activities could be many but the ultimate goal is to have a huge fanbase/followers which will result in getting maximum likes/re-tweets on ones post but that's not all. Checking others friendlist or likes on their post & then comparing it with yours, isn't that's what we call obsession? Guys, social media...

Why cant BJP and its supporters handle criticism?

Why can’t BJP & its supporters handle criticism? You are in power & it’s a democratic country. As a citizen of this diverse nation, we have the right to ask questions to the government & you’re obligated to answer us. Why do you have to defend yourself behind the excuse of Congress whenever we ask questions about the benefit of demonetization? Indeed it took us 60 years to realize that Congress was incompetent to run the country. Isn’t that the reason we gave an opportunity to you (with majority) in the first place? Why don’t you justify the after math of demonetization? The nation wants to know, after all those sacrifices, what have we achieved! We stood outside atm for days; 1.5 million lost their jobs; 2% downfall in GDP & 100+ martyrs outside the ATM/banks for the betterment of the country… We all accepted it assuming this is what it takes to become a corruption free country & at the end, it will be all worth it! You have asked for 50 days, we gave you a...
