Crossfire killings
The Frankenstein has been let loose. Two innocent polytechnic boys are the latest victims. The government's election pledge is ignored. Ministers are expressing contradicting views. We are living in such a savage society that many of us even enjoy such annihilation. We have lost our faith in the normal process of criminal justice, but pretend to believe the stories of 'crossfire' and 'encounters'. Executive magistrates in their inquiries endorsed all the killings. Then where will the people go?
We do not want to see any more killing of such type. All such killings of the past should be probed and the killers must be punished. We are not living in jungles. We claim ourselves to be the citizens of a democratic country where the rule of law must prevail.
