And no one cares!
And why will anyone? Because, it is all about "Justice for Aarushi".
I am not against Aarushi but I kind of expected some pity for Hemraj as well. Aarushi Talwar and her family servant Hemraj got murdered on the same night. Since media has least interest in the poor and unattractive story subjects, Hemraj’s murder has not been in the spot light as much as Aarushi’s.
For the past one week I had been getting several messages for the Aarushi candlelight march. I was not sure if the march was worth it since this case is totally based on forensic evidences which have already been forged upon. But attending it and shouting for justice is any day better than sitting at home and playing the blame game. When I reached there, I found good number of people, mostly youngsters, with candles in their hands, shouting “We want justice, justice for Aarushi”.
The march lacked originality since most of the placards had quotes from ‘NO ONE KILLED JESSICA’, the movie. On one hand I was disappointed with the lack of uniqueness but on the other my love for parallel cinema increased manifold. Quotes like ‘Justice has been denied, you can live with it, I can’t” and “justice delayed is justice denied” found space there.
Chandigarh based Middle Finger Protests, also known as "Human Rights Protection Group" (credited for its efforts in the movie "No One Killed Jessica") were present there and their banners read "CBI - Central Bureau of Injustice" and "CBI - Congress Bureau of Investigation".
I along with everyone shouted on the top of our voices while media captured us from every possible angle, occasionally asking us to raise our candles for a nice photograph. Media never publicized the march before it happened but now they’ll have a good story piece. I did not see the Talwars around. Probably Rajesh Talwar is scared of getting slashed (since he was recently attacked). Someone told me that he left before the march started.
Anyway Candles were placed and everyone signed on a piece of paper, a petition to reopen the case and gave it to the guys who organized the march.
Police wasn’t as vigilant in the case as much as they were today, ready with their sticks. We were asked to leave as soon as the time was up.
However, even though I signed the petition, there is only bleak hope for success. Most evidences have been destroyed and the mess was made in the beginning itself. This case runs parallel to cases like United States
Things might or might not change for this case but there is one thing which I believe will stay- “the new age hunger for justice".
