The Dangerous Path ……
The recent incidents ; the raid on the cruise to the arrest of Aryan Khan to his exoneration and extortion of bribe by the INVESTIGATION OFFICER, IT/ ED raids on Satyapal Malik’s relatives after his outburst against the Govt, the on going protests by young women wrestlers against sexual harassment by the Federation Chief and the BJP man are an indicator of a dangerous trend.
When the Govt becomes autocratic its Officials become tyrant, cruel and sycophants and its supporters become arrogant and rogues. Gradually, supporters of Ruling party (Non State Actors), the Govt officials and the Govt operate hand in glove and the difference between the State and the Non State actors diminishes .
So if today it was Shahrukh Khan or young women wrestlers or Satyapal Malik who have had to grapple with this growing nexus, it can be anyones turn tomorrow. The Common man needs to Wake up before his own close ones meet a cruel end due to this growing Nexus. Afterall It is always the Common man who suffers.

What About Our Values ?
Another aspect associated with these incidents is Our own “Zameer”, our INTEGRITY, Our Moral Courage. No one wants to speak up , Neither the media nor the common man.
Many amongst us had already made Sharukh and his son a criminal because they were Muslims and surprisingly at whose COMMAND ; THE NON STATE ACTORS.
A Sincere advise ; STOP LOOKING AT THINGS THROUGH THE PRISM OF RELIGION. If we do that we will be burning our own fingers in times to come. The whole society is today sitting on a TINDER BOX and can get ignited on a slightest provocation like it happened in Manipur.
Religion in Politics has its own DYNAMICS , The more we look at events through the prism of Religion , the more we will sink into the abyss from where coming out will be very very difficult.
