The Sheila Dik-shit government has proved it again that might is right. A convict, Manu Sharma,
who is serving a life sentence for murdering Jessica Lal, has been granted parole on the recommendation of, who else, but our beloved Dik-shit herself.
The scion of a influential Congress family from Haryana, who are also the owners of Piccadilly group of hotels, has apparently been released on parole for a month, which has been extended by another month, on the ground of his mother's illness. He has, however, reportedly been spotted in a nightclub in a hotel in Delhi. While his mother was seen addressing a press conference in their family hotel in Chandigarh.
Do politicians have any shame left? Using the pretext of his mother's illness a murderer is moving amongst law abiding common people and the CM comes out and defends this decision. 't the authorities verify whether there was no one to attend to the ailing mother of the convict and that his presence was required.
Even someone with a bit of common sense would know that the primary thing that has to be done is if a person is asking for parole for a particular ground, they have to find out and verify whether that ground exists.
However, Dik-shit has shamelessly defended her government's decision that there was nothing "illegal or unusual" about it as "parole is something that every prisoner wants and it is nothing illegal that he asks for."
"Whatever has been done is within the legal purview. It (recommending parole) has been done after taking suggestions from everybody (concerned agencies)," Dik-shit told reporters at her Players' Building office.
She said the recommendation for Manu's parole was made on the basis of reports from jail and police authorities certifying that "yes this person can avail parole because his behaviour has been good". Really????
