Unbelievable: Child made to drink urine?
Dear Editor,
Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) should be complimented for taking cognizance of serious news-item about a child made to drink urine at Vishva Bharti University (Shanti Niketan), bypassing many other government-functionaries and commissions etc. However the incident seems to be practically unbelievable. If the incident was indeed true, release of the guilty warden on bail was still a bigger crime. Matter requires some concrete practical approach rather than being allowed to fade away with time in the name of forming a probe-committee, submission of the probe-report, study of the report and then a never-done concrete action after public-memory fades away.
Practical remedy is to make the concerned warden present before media, where she can also give her own version on the incident in a Lok Adalat. Otherwise, present judicial system will linger on for years justifying the proverb ‘Justice delayed is justice denied’. In case incident proves to be true, a ‘tit for tat’ approach should be adopted in full media-glare with the guilty warden so as to be the only effective check to prevent future such incidents. It is a matter of surprise and shock that those in the West Bengal government have not so far reacted on the incident, with political faces missing from TV panel-discussions on the incident.
