'Crossfire'

Almost every day, the electronic media spends at least a few minutes in providing the news of deaths in crossfire. It is a highly purgative way to liquidate the miscreants. People are convinced that this stratagem has been undertaken to ward off any legitimate action against the government. Rab, undoubtedly, has improved the law and order situation to a great extent. People can now heave a sigh of relief as Rab has been able to bring the confidence of people back upon the law enforcing agencies. Many terrorists have left their homes. Rab's attire has made a great impact on the common people's mind. Any one caught by Rab is feared or believed to be dead in crossfire.

My objection is to death in custody. All the deaths in Rab custody are of similar kind. The terrorists along with Rab members go for recovering arms. Then they are attacked and in every case, the terrorists are killed. Killing the criminals cannot be a permanent solution. If they are brought to trial, many other abettors directly or indirectly associated with them will be unfolded. Those godfathers have to be identified so that none dares to commit this sort of misdeeds again. Crime must be disconnected from politics.

If every political party of our country addresses the matter with due sincerity, the criminals will have no place in society.
