Hit first, ask questions later, it’s the new dictum

If there is one thing we must fear, it is the complete lack of fear on the part of the rogue dramatis personae in the fast-deteriorating JNU case. One of the lawyers taunted the media, asking them to take pictures of him, and boasted of how he hit the hapless student on the face and got in a few kicks. If that were not enough to shock the daylights out of you, one of the lawyers taunted the media, asking them to take pictures of him, and boasted of how he hit the hapless student on the face and got in a few kicks. And then we have pictures of the Union home minister, the overlord of the police, in a cosy pose with the ghastly lawyer who led an earlier assault within the court precincts. India does not need the protection of thuggish lawyers but it certainly could do with the police doing its job instead of the commissioner holding forth on television channels defending the indefensible.
