Atiq and his brother were killed while in police custody and were handcuffed. Slogans of JSR were also raised. Their murder is a perfect example of Yogi’s big failure of law & order. Those celebrating encounter-raj are equally responsible for this murder.

उप्र में अपराध की पराकाष्ठा हो गयी है और अपराधियों के हौसले बुलंद है। जब पुलिस के सुरक्षा घेरे के बीच सरेआम गोलीबारी करके किसीकी हत्या की जा सकती है तो आम जनता की सुरक्षा का क्या। इससे जनता के बीच भय का वातावरण बन रहा है, ऐसा लगता है कुछ लोग जानबूझकर ऐसा वातावरण बना रहे हैं।

हमारे देश का क़ानून संविधान में लिखा गया है, यह क़ानून सर्वोपरि है। अपराधियों को कड़ी से कड़ी सजा मिलनी चाहिए, मगर देश के क़ानून के तहत होनी चाहिए।

किसी भी सियासी मक़सद से क़ानून के राज और न्यायिक प्रक्रिया से खिलवाड़ करना या उसका उल्लंघन करना हमारे लोकतंत्र के लिए सही नहीं है।
