Just Justice

The rolling bar at the bottom of the tv screen of a news channnel read "Lindsay does a stint at morgue". They did not think it essential to show more details.

Probably many read it as "stunt" and did not give much importance. I am sure many are not even aware as to who is Lindsay (Lohan). Anyway the whole country was rejoicing over the record victory of our cricket team at Perth.

Lindsay Lohan is an actress, punished for drunken driving. Apart from her jail term, the judge ordered her to spend two days of four hours each at the hospital morgue and then at the emergency room. This was necessary to understand the ill effects of drunken and rash driving.
No media or her fans could change this.

Compare this with our own Salman khan who too, a few years back, killed the innocent poor people sleeping on the footpath. He just ran away from the scene. When he was arrested and tried, he came out on bail and still no justice has been meted out.
The media also is to be blamed for all this. They give undue importance to all these stars and dont stand for the victims. Obviously, the victims are poor and of no use to them.

Now he and the whole media take pride that he is flying to London to unveil his statue at the Toussads.

Will the poor and non celebrity ever get justice in India?
