All-Party Debate on the Robin Hoods of Bihar Needed

It's high time to abandon our caste-affiliations to the modern-day demons like Anant Singh. I have been hearing about him since 2 decades. Many of the wine-shops in Patna belong to him. He is able to capture land/flats from hard-earned money from those who are retiring after life-long service to some company/Govt. How shameful is this?

But we all should be able to talk freely and answer few relevant questions bravely as to what kind of mentality nourishes these elements in the society.

I have seen how brutally innocent farmers were killed by Maoists who were directly encouraged by the then ruling RJD. It was said that in day time the same guys were acting like RJD-activists. Few ministers of Magadh area like Surendra Yadav were directly sponsoring them. Lately some extremist members from the upper-strata formed private militia to counter them. And then what happened everybody knows. The bad name which Bihar acquired those days is never going to be washed away. The situation those days were easily comparable to those of Israel/Palestine...(thank God its much better now).

The point I want to make is that the situation in which the bad elements of society becomes role-model should be understood clearly. Perhaps the same thing did happen with the Naxal cases also but only in the starting years of its establishment. Now they are groups of rangdaars of some strata who want to have money and power by any means.

Anant singh like Robin Hoods have been common in different areas of Bihar but if there is going to be tough measures against them it should be against everyone of them irrespective of their party relation or caste-relation.

Why not Nitishji calls for a state-wide debate on crime in politics? He should call an all party meeting on this topic where a list of those elements can be prepared. But can we - the NRBs expect honest steps from all the leaders of Bihar together? Perhaps next to impossible. They may be tough against the ones who are in opposite party or whose caste have not voted in their favour but what about those Robin Hoods who makes their relation overnight with that party which comes in government?

We need this answer from not only Nitishji, Lalooji or Paswanji but all the parties sending MLAs in the Assembly.

Expecting honest answers!

The chief minister should overhaul the police set-up and bring in a tough police chief. But it will cost him his caste-man, which he is not willing to do. - Satya - Nov. 6, 2007

The Anant Singh's story has sparked several fires in hearts of so-called-intellectual media-savvy people and politicians. Fires of revenge, fires of power, fires of score-settling, fire of putting own face on TV for 24 hours.

Just some points for reference of the story:

1. The same Anant Singh has been engaged in looting, robbery, murders for long. His tortures on common man have never sparked such a nation wide agitation. Why so much hue-cry over him beating a sensation - hungry media man. Are we giving a statement to the world, that whatever bad things you do, if you are good with media, all your sins are forgiven. But, if you are a good man and don't want to oblige media, then you are the worst creature on this earth. Are we saying that media-men are superhumans and nobody can touch them and they are free to make and tilt news in their own interest without thinking about the legal and social impacts.

2. The decomposed body of a girl, which created all the hoopla has been found to be of a girl, named Kaajal and not Reshma? Now, is it not sufficient to prove that the media was making false news for four days continuously. Now, if this news was against Mr. Sharmaji in place of Anant Singh, what would have been his reaction? A honest man would react in his own terms after such a torturous phase in life, where his name has been driven in a controversy, which, for me is a conspiracy to defame Nithishji. Only few, like Sharmaji, could hold their emotions after such a bad name given by media all over world for five days uselessly.

3. Now, its clear that the body was of somebody else, its matter of investigation who is Reshma ? Whether she is a reality or imagination of a pervert mind just to raise storm for nothing. If its true, then electronic media is surely part of this conspiracy. The investigation should bring out the real artist behind all this.


4. The most disturbing fact about today's politics and media is that, for same crime, one person at one point is good and the other time bad. Take the case of Laluji, when he was ruler of Bihar and booked under Fodder-Scam, the same media made him villain all over world. Now, the same media is making him a hero, a manager, an intellectual. This gives the impression that if you have managed media well, you would be projected as national hero, and if not, even god can't save you. Twenty four hours, your face would be shown on TV. As the saying goes, "AGAR EK JHOOTH BAAR BAAR DUHRAYA JAAYE, TO SACH LAGNE LAGTA HAI".

5. The same RJD people are calling for Bihar bandh against media atrocities, whose leader had almost put a famous TV journalist, Nalini Singh, during Bihar elections under prison for entire day. How a party or person can agitate over a crime for which he himself has been infamous.

6. Some politicians are dying without power. They can not afford to stay out of power for long because they very well know, being out of power for long could erode his so-called mass-base. No Thekha, No Tender, No Power, No Influence.., why politicians would stay with such a party which has no ideologies and lives only on power and money with favours of casteism, nepotism.

In light of above points, the case should be investigated and real culprits especially electronic media, who boast of being common man voice in public, and continue to be part of conspiracies cheating people. Moreover, to settle scores, I would like the "SHILPI-GAUTAM" case to be reopened!!!!! - Ravish Kumar, Hyderabad - Nov. 6, 2007

Discussion on this topic is now closed.
