#Crime #Festival
If you open the channels and newspapers, it seems as if Kerala is holding a crime festival. Kozhikode Town SI was stabbed by a criminal, a mag was stabbed in Pathirapalli for asking for a bottle of water at a wedding reception, and a case has been filed against a police officer in Thiruvananthapuram instead of those who attacked him inside a mall.
If you listen to all this, you will feel that Kerala is not a land of law, but a kangaroo court. Even a small argument ends in conflict and stabbing. A time when everything from bottled water to shirts has become a matter of life and death. Just as a man used to walk with a bullet in his bag, here the Keeleri men walk with a knife in their hands!
Meanwhile, the rulers act as if this is not a big problem. It requires a high skin depth to describe Kerala where even the police are not safe, as a model of law and order. The common man who is afraid to walk on the street, the policeman who hesitates to do his duty: The Kerala government is with them!
Should we call this situation where criminals are bold and law-abiding people are afraid, development, or a live telecast of administrative failure? Kerala is teaching a new lesson: to get justice, we must first live!
