News India Live, Digital Desk: These days, there is only one discussion in the atmosphere of Meerut, ‘Justice’. Often we hear in the news that daughters are safe, but when such a heart-wrenching incident comes to light, we feel heartbroken. The case is of Meerut, where the murder of a Dalit girl Ritu has not only torn her family apart but has also broken the patience of the people of the entire area.
Why did he get so angry?
It is not just about a murder, but about the safety of that daughter and strict action against the accused. For many days, the victim’s family was wandering from door to door in the hope of justice, but when they felt that their matter was being ignored, public anger erupted. Yesterday a crowd of thousands gathered at Sivaya Toll Plaza and within no time the view of Delhi-Dehradun National Highway changed. The mats spread on the road and the slogans in their hands made it clear that until action is not taken, no one is going to step back.
Togetherness of politics and justice
Big faces of the opposition also came to register their presence in this protest. Samajwadi Party MLA Atul Pradhan and MP Ramji Lal Suman Expressed his condolences by sitting on the ground with the victim’s family. These leaders clearly say that the administration cannot run away from its responsibility. When the guards become mute spectators, the victim is left with no option but to take to the streets. The presence of these faces not only gave strength to the protest but also increased the pressure on the government and the police.
Question of security and heavy police force
Handling yesterday’s situation was no less than a big challenge for the Meerut Police. Hundreds of policemen and top officials reached the spot, efforts were made to convince the people, but the crowd had only one question – ‘Why are those who killed our daughter roaming free?’. This uproar at the toll plaza also put brakes on the speed of Meerut-Delhi, which caused some trouble to the pedestrians, but the protesters said that – “This problem of today can prevent the untoward incident from happening to another daughter tomorrow.”
Hopes are now on the administration
Police have assured that the accused will be caught soon and Ritu’s family will get all possible help. Now it remains to be seen whether this file of the administration rests only on assurances or whether a strict decision comes soon. This crowd sitting on the streets of Meerut is not just shouting slogans, but is showing the mirror to the system.
Delay in justice is equal to no justice. Today, the whole of Meerut is demanding justice for the same Ritu who was killed in cold blood.
