Thank God We have a Supreme Court & Press

Thank God we have a Supreme Court in our country.  Had it not been there I feel there would have been anarchy in our country. Our political masters and bureaucracy including the police are so indifferent that they do'nt bother for the common people of our country. To stress my views I will quote two news items which I read yesterday and today.

First: Yesterday it was reported in the News Paper that the Supreme Court had called for the details regarding the missing children in our country. Most of the states have not responded to the notice. As if it was not enough most of the Chief Secretaries of the states have not presented themselves in the Supreme Court on the date. Our bureaucrats are so arrogant that they think they are next to God and do not care even for the Supreme Court. Due to this the Supreme Court was very harsh. Let us hope that they mend their ways. At least let them have the fear of the Supreme Court.

Second one: Yesterday only it was reported that a six month old baby girl was admitted in a Mumbai hospital who was bleeding. Inspite of doctors insisting that the baby was sexually police refused to lodge an FIR on one pretext or other. Only when the matter was highlighted in the press they have agreed to lodge an FIR. God only knows what will be the outcome of the investigation when the FIR itself has been lodged so reluctantly.

But the million dollar question which remains unanswered is why our machinery is not working on its own. Why they need a Supreme Court or a Press to do what they are supposed to do.
