In the circumstances of criminalised politics the media obsession against bail and sure imprisonment for the accused before he is found guilty has made criminal justice system mainly an affair of police justice. Our journalists do not educate our people that denial of bail means denying of all fundamental rights of the person on mere allegations.
The principle of justice is an accused will be punished after finding him guilty by a court. To suffer imprisonments against the principle of justice. A man is not guilty until he is found guilty by a court.
By not following the principle of justice and send to jail as a matter of routine is to create for police space for corruption and abuse of power. Now it is known to all how a section of police has become dangerous criminals. They are getting political support as in police crime political leaders are found involved. So no administrative action can be taken against the criminal police. We have helped to destroy police to remain hones to their duty. Police should remain truthful to professional obligation no matter what kind of leaders we have. That country belongs to the people and it is with the people’s money the police are maintained. It should be a matter of their own conscience.
When time will and full truth is revealed it will be governance that has become an affair of criminal activities for plundering the people. Political leadership is important but just because we lack competent political leadership that we are free to destroy the justice and allow police to arbiter of fundamental rights.
We have together organised a system whether false or true, a police report even before investigation and charges is enough to suffer in jail. So the courts are helping police more easily than think of protecting one’s dignity or rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Our courts know how must the police enjoy.
It is shocking that in free country the people’s freedom is regarded so unimportant. Do not blame the politicians as they have ceased to be so. The election has become a state level robbery and robbing the people.
Our system is such that it is not sensible to expect speedy trial. Speedy trial may not be helpful for the police or the prosecution. Besides, the court was helpful to keep the person locked in jail. So why risk the truth come in we shall trial?
The unconscionable delay in the trial of Taqi is nothing new. It is normal for the system.
It is learned that RAB has identified the killers back in 2014 and made publicly known at a press briefing that a member of the above mentioned political family had led the killing. But the question is if the police investigation fails to perform and prosecution fails to start trial, how people will be sure that the real culprits are being punished and kept in jail.
Our privileged people think abuse of the system will not affect them. They will not be falsely prosecuted and face denial of bail to suffer imprisonment. Time may change and nothing remains static.
Not only Taqi murder is not in a hurry for trial delay it is the result of the system. There is say that when people able to do good do not they are guilty of letting down the whole nation. When we have the courage to do what is right without looking one way or another there shall be slavery for us.
