KUDOS to the Metropolitan Police Crime Division (MPCD) for its bold step to arrest Shyam Sunder Gupta CA lawmaker, for his alleged involvement in masterminding abduction of Pawan Sanghai (“Gupta the “mastermind”, Court send him in custody” January 18, Page one). It is hoped that this is the beginning of the long haul chase to put all real culprits behind bars, no matter what positions they hold. The MPCD should continue to show its guts to go after other high profile criminals, who are still under the protection of political parties and wandering around enjoying the fruits of the state coffer, and put them behind bars too.
CA lawmakers found to be involved in such criminal acts should be immediately stripped of their entitlement. If such provisions are not in the Interim Constitution, then the constitution should be amended accordingly considering the supremacy of CA. The people are extremely frustrated seeing the criminal lawmakers go unpunished. The time has come for the CA Chairperson to be proactive, act accordingly, and immediately hand over the criminal lawmakers to the police to save the supremacy of the CA.
