Some days ago, a 50-year-old man was lynched by a group of people in Dadri (UP) because of a rumor that the he had kept beef in their fridge. Mohammad Akhlaq and his son were pulled out of their house and were beaten up badly by the mob resulting in death of Mohammad Akhlaq. His son also sustained lot of injuries and is still in a serious condition.

The incident shocked the nation and there is widespread outcry about the sorry state of affairs that currently exist. Various political parties have visited the family of the deceased and some even tried to communalize the issue.

Amidst all the chaos, Bollywood Actor Farhan Akhtar voiced his opinion and also mentioned that incidents like these should never be forgotten and repeated. The actor is known for voicing his concerns about social issues.

Here’s what he wrote on his  page.

It’s been almost a week now since a man (husband and father) in Dadri, U.P was brutally murdered. He was dragged out of his house and in full view of his family, beaten to death by a mob. His son is in critical condition, doctors still struggling to keep him alive. His wife and daughter will probably never recover from this incident.Reason: He was rumored to have stored and/or eaten beef. Let me repeat that. He was RUMORED to have stored and/or eaten beef.

Now one would imagine that those who committed this crime are lunatics who have no ability to think for themselves, their lives devoid of any purpose and who therefore cling on to the lamest of reasons, or more specifically, sorriest of excuses so as to give meaning to their own existence.

They should be given the harshest punishment to send a message out that this sort of kangaroo justice will not be allowed in our nation.

But will that happen?

It’s the aftermath with the routine insensitive quotes from politics leaders, some blatantly blaming the victims eating habits, others sheltering the accused, that have already started creating the blueprint for what is to follow. We’ve seen it before. Do we want to see it again?

The police sprung into action and have sent the meat from the dead victims house for Forensics!!!!
Need one say more about how twisted this is beginning to get.

The point of this post is that another thing will be routine. The silence of the peace loving citizen. But this is NOT the time to remain silent.

What has happened once can surely happen again and unless we, the people, do not unite in demanding immediate action, this is going to turn into a circus with all the usual suspects having a go at each other, trying to score PR points.

There are serious implications if justice is not swift and exact.

During this week, another Gandhi Jayanti has passed us by. I know one family in UP that must wonder what happened to the principles that he built this nation on.

Indians killing Indians killing Indians. Let’s face it.. His memory has been completely dishonored.

Let us not allow the Dadri incident ever to be forgotten or repeated. Jai Hind.
