Politicians speaking on the lines of political conveniences on the rape and murder of a minor girl show that they don’t bother to talk even about the institutions which are in their control and the institutions the directives of which are binding on them. Jammu & Kashmir Deputy Chief Nirmal Singh in his latest statement over the Kathua rape-n-murder case has said “Now the case is with the court and government will act on the directions of the court. A thorough investigation should be done and the actual culprits should be found and pronounced guilty. Action will be definitely taken.” Deputy Chief Minister while saying that a thorough investigation should be done and the actual culprits should be found and pronounced guilty owes an explanation to the people of the state that does he mean that investigation of the Kathua rape-n-murder case conducted by the Crime Branch of Jammu & Kashmir has not been thorough even under the supervision of the Hon’ble High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and if so why the Jammu & Kashmir government of which Nirmal Singh is the Deputy Chief Minister endorsed the investigation conducted by Crime Branch of Jammu & Kashmir police under the supervision of Hon’ble High Court of Jammu & Kashmir. Interestingly not only the Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti but also BJP an ally of PDP in the Mehooba led coalition government and almost all the mainstream opposition parties including the single largest opposition parties in the assembly National Conference have expressed their full faith in the investigation conducted by the Crime Branch of Jammu & Kashmir police. Above all the family of the minor Kathua victim has expressed full faith in the investigation conducted by the Crime Branch of Jammu & Kashmir. So when Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti herself, the central government commanded and controlled by BJP and the family of the victim have full faith in the investigation of the Crime Branch what has prompted Deputy Chief Minister to say that a thorough investigation should be done and the actual culprits should be found and pronounced guilty.
Political morality demands that if Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh believes that the accused against whom the Crime Branch of Jammu & Kashmir police are not the actual culprits then he should pose a question to the central high command of his own party that it ousted two ministers for supporting the demand of a CBI inquiry into the rape and murder of the Kathua minor girl?
The people have a moral right to ask the Deputy Chief Minister does he believe that aren’t the accused against whom the Crime Branch has filed charge sheets the actual culprits?
