Book the Arsonists: Dr Birbal Jha
New Delhi, 18.06.2022: “The central government’s recent scheme for the time-bound recruitment of youth into the Indian Armed Forces– Agnipath may be debated if any section of society has any confusion, illusion and delusion about how it would roll out and be good for promising youth, but the violence of any sort in the name of protest cannot be allowed and tolerated, and it must be pooh-poohed. Those committing arson, setting trains and other public property on fire cannot be regarded as protesters or revolutionaries.”, said Dr Birbal Jha, noted author and social thinker.
“The arsonists whosoever must be dealt with an iron hand. They must be tried in a court of law ensuring due process under the country’s judicial system. A protest against the government for any reason is a public right. But nobody has the right to destroy any public property wheresoever. The law of the land must prevail.” added Dr Birbal, who has championed the cause of society by running several programmes for youth.
“It is shocking and painful for me to see some trains burning for no fault of theirs. Such a collateral loss damages the nation greatly. Those involved in such a criminal act must not take the law into their own hands.”, appealed Dr Birbal, who is often seen standing for youth.
“A CBI probe against such arson and destructions having been committed in certain pockets of the country must be initiated so that the truth behind the scene of those so-called political leaders instigating the gullible people can be out.”, demanded Dr Birbal.
“They cannot be our youth who the nation remains proud of. They must be political stooges who commit such an unpardonable crime covering their faces and stealing their identity.”, concluded Dr Birbal Jha.
