Confusion, Confusion & Confusion.....

I am confused. I don't know what to make out of it. SC is hearing issues related to enchoachment on public land. In Delhi SC is pulling up every government agency including Delhi and Central government on not taking desired action to remove enchraochments on public land for residential and commercial purposes, even a minor unauthorised addition in an authorised house. But in Baroda SC puts a halt on removal of unauthorised religious structures on public land. What does it mean? People can enchroach on public land, build a religious structure, start living in it, and start earning money out of prayers and offerings and local adminstration will not be allowed to remove it. But people can not enchroach to build a house or a shop.

Why this discrimination in a secular country? Why Central government's appeal is allowed? Is it that both government and SC respect the measure of nuisance value of the protesters. More nuisance value more soaps. Or this stand is only for Gujrat under Modi?

Recent bill passed by the parliament to stop all demolitions of one year has added more confusion to already confused issue. It has been successful only in conveying a threat to the judiciary that 'if you use law made by us against us we will change it'.

HC has refused to comment on this bill. Let us see what happens when HC hears the main petition.

Yes, Suresh Gupta, this partisan stand of SC is only for Gujrat. UPA government has its own resons to defame Gujrat and its government but what possible resons SC could have is beyond imagination. Zahira was jailed for one year, a period double of the maxumum punishment prescribed under law. Her mother has also now been jailed. Anybody speaking in support of Gujrat government, police and judiciary is seen as a criminal. Even those who do not speak aganist them as SC wishes it, they are also considered criminals. One sided hate thought process has taken over the logic. I am hurt the way my state and my people are being treated by the rest of the country.
