One of the many excesses of the emergency rule imposed by Indira Gandhi was the custody killing of Rajan, a student of the Calicut Regional Engineering College. Every one that followed the case known as Rajan Case gladly put the onus of the murder on K Karunakaran and the his police department but would overlook the part played in the murder by the Kerala voters. Germans living duriing time of Hitler was as responsible for the holocaust as Hitler was, they allowed it to happen, likewise by voting in the congress government to power during emergency when the rest of India voted to throw them out, we condoned the emergency and Karunakaran’s highhanded rule. We allowed him to kill our sons, we gave him the manndate to create a concentration camp in Kakayam, to torture our boys. Then how can we escape the blame. We killed Rajan by voting Karunakaran to power. We are as much to blame as he is.
If the most politically aware state in India were to vote according to their conscience, we would have wonderful honest people in the assembly, we would have MLAs dedicated to progress and growth, but what do we do, we vote for the serial sexual molester, we vote for goondas , we vote for judge bribers, we vote according to religion, we vote according to caste. we vote for every reason other than the one we should be voting for. Well, then we deserve the rulers we get, we deserve the murders, molesters, briber, bribe takers we put in the Assembly and we have no right to complain, because we put them there.
