Anti-Modi alliance driving gang rape victim insane?
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Navsarjan Trust, the Non Governmental Organisation (NGO) that had secured the girlâs custody, brought her to the court after getting her discharged from Ahmedabad Civil Hospital the previous night. The doctors had allowed the girl to be taken off only after specifically noting in the documents that she was hypersensitive, suffering from severe anxiety. As if to confirm their assessment, she just fainted again even without uttering a word before the judge within a few minutes of being taken to the courtroom. She was rushed for treatment to the government hospital.
The NGO that had the girlâs custody when she fainted last, was apparently keen to start the trial proceedings without further delay. More than 30 activists of Navsarjan Trust had accompanied her and were stopped outside. Her advocate Shaukat Ali Saiyed claimed that she was presented only to seek adjournment. Even as Srivastava adjourned the case to July 10, he directed the special prosecutor Naina Bhatt to begin examining the other witnesses, and only them.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->This painful but inevitable judicial process will obviously demand perfect mental and physical fitness of the examinee. Excessive pressure may take a heavy toll and lead to frequent fainting episodes, as has been happening. She is also at the risk of suicidal ideation. <b>Her father and other family members obviously want to guard against that risk, however, ambitious âcrusadersâ with political axe to grind have been fine-tuning strategies to use her plight to their full advantage.</b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Even as an âin-cameraâ magisterial inquiry was ordered immediately to investigate charges, sensationalist journalism brought the NCW on the scene. <b>âGoodâ samaritans of the society in the NGO business demanded that NCW institute a number of public hearings on sexual abuses in the educational institutions and other places throughout the stateâ in the interest of women!</b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The father of the girl is keen that the daughter does not become a martyr in the cause of womenâs rights or attain the status of a âcelebrity Dalitâ. He has moved the court to remove advocate Shaukat Ali Saiyed, who is supposed to be âassistingâ the prosecution with his expertise. After all, after the big guns eventually walk out of the scene, the traditional community will be where they would belong. In the parentâs presence, the girl appreciates far-from-ideal realities of life and agrees to their bidding. Navsarjan Trust, on the other hand, seems to be keen to steal the initiative from the Congress-supported spin doctors and transform this into a test case for Dalit empowerment. Its chief, Manjula Pradip cannot be faulted for her ambition to pump up the NGO to eventually take on Narendra Modi.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The moot question is: Are the NGOs and political reformers justified in demanding that the family must sacrifice the girl, and the girl must sacrifice herself to aid them? Or, are the girlâs father and family justified in persuading her to refrain from getting entangled in political intrigue? Let it not happen that they, together, unwittingly drive the âgang rape victimâ to a state of insanity. Worse still, let her not suffer the same fate of Zahira Sheikh of Best Bakery case fame, who was jailed by an enraged supreme court, thanks to such âsocial crusadersâ!
