bloody money

Zaheera sheikh, the Best Bakery case girl. Undoubtedly, she has become the living symbol of the Gujarat genocide. But her constant flip-flops while testifying against the accused has raised many a brow and finally it has been proved that she has accepted money for a compromise.

Before we start judging the likes of Zaheera Sheikh , get into her shoes. No doubt, her testimony was a big ray of hope for the justice waiting to be served to the 2500 dead people and their kin. But, then what ? The glory of standing up for such a nobel yet controversial cause is always short-lived, especially in our Mahan Bharat. I particularly remember the instance where a photo of a man(i dont recall his name), begging for his life to be spared in the Gujarat riots , was widely publicised all over the world and has evoked tremendous sympathy. After several days i read in a magazine that he has been 'boycotted' all over, by hindus and muslims alike. Even moving to another town did not help, as the cursed photograph still haunted him.

Now imagine the plight of a 19-yr old girl .

While money might not be the 'uppermost thing' in the minds of ppl who are fortunate enough to own a computer to read this blog , what about those who find it difficult to afford a single meal a day ?

But then again, is it justifiable to allow the wrong-doers go scot free ? More than a hundred million muslims had their hopes pinned on her to bring peace to their tortured bodies and souls.Moreover, it would boost the confidence of all such anti-social elements to carry on their hate campaign with renewed vigour.

Perplexing , eh ?
