News India Live, Digital Desk: When law does its job, it is justice for the society. But in the midst of the justice process, when the family of a convict comes forward, a different aspect of emotions emerges. Something similar is happening today in the case of former MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar, who is serving life imprisonment in the Unnao rape case.
A few days ago, Delhi High Court had given some relief to Sengar by suspending his sentence for some time, which in simple language you can call a temporary ‘way out’. But the Supreme Court has stayed this order. Now Sengar will remain in jail. Following this court order, Sengar’s daughter, Aishwarya Sengar, has written a long and emotional open letter.
What is Aishwarya’s pain in the letter?
This letter of Aishwarya has been written from the perspective of a daughter. He started his talk with “hope for justice”. In the letter she asks whether the media and society had not made her father a victim of ‘injustice’ even before he was punished? Aishwarya claims that who will answer for the mental and social torture that her family has faced in the last several years?
In a way, his letter raises voice against ‘media trial’. He says that while one side is getting full sympathy, the fundamental rights of his father and his family have been crushed. The boil of emotions is clearly visible in the letter where a daughter is considering her father innocent, no matter what the court’s decision is.
the other side of reality
There is discussion in the legal circles that this step of Sengar’s daughter is a kind of emotional appeal, the purpose of which is to draw the attention of the society and the judiciary towards the fact that punishment is given not only to the guilty but also to his innocent family. But on the other hand, supporters of the victim say that after what happened in Unnao, such arguments hold no meaning.
What does today’s politics say?
Kuldeep Sengar was once a big name in the politics of Uttar Pradesh. Even after being expelled from BJP, his threat did not diminish. But now this letter from his daughter has proved that this fight has now moved from the court rooms to the streets of emotions.
Aishwarya has also raised the question in her letter whether there is room for human sensitivities in the law? This letter is being shared widely on social media today and people are commenting on it according to their respective ideologies.
No matter which side we are on, one thing is clear, when such letters from families come after such big crimes, they leave many bitter questions before the society. After the latest decision of the Supreme Court, now the walls of the jail have become tight again for Kuldeep Singh Sengar, and this ‘fight’ of his family seems to be intensifying in the digital world.
