Is Mob Vigilantism On The Rise?
Of late we have been noticing instances where either the law is being subverted or mobs taking the law into their own hands. From an unruly Shiv Sena MP beating up an Air India staffer following an altercation to vigilantes beating to death a person in Alwar, Rajasthan for transporting cows, are we seeing a rise in vigilantism? To make matters worse after banning Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad from flying with Air India the Ministry of Civil Aviation has buckled under pressure and revoked the ban while three people, accused for beating to death a man in Alwar for transporting cows, are still at large. Are we becoming a nation of law breakers where VVIPs, vigilantes can get away by subverting the law? Is it time for PM Narendra Modi to rein in the fringe?
