Crimes of Commissions - and Omissions

Our politicians are obsessed with  following " CRIMES OF COMMISSIONS  " :

>   1984  Delhi  Genocide

>   2002  Godhra riots

>   2013  Muzzafarnagar riots

>   Sundry terrorist attacks

>   Killings by Naxalites / Maoists

>   Police encounters ( genuine or otherwise )

>   Political murders

>   Crimes committed by celebrities ( Sports / Films / Media  etc  )

Politicians are vying with each other to fix blame on opposition / ruling parties .  TV anchors are facilitating the acrimonious mud-slinging  !

They are demanding apologies from those who were in power when these crimes happened ( or from those whose parties were in power at that time )

They want the culprits / criminals responsible for these crimes , to be tried and punished by the courts expeditiously

They want the riot victims to get justice - of course , no axe to grind  !

Why this sudden hue and cry about what happened long time back  ?

Why this obsession with the past  ?

Why this sharp focus on the " ACTS  OF  COMMISSION "  ?

Why is no one talking about the present  ?

About the " ACTS  OF  OMISSIONS "  ?

Who is responsible for following deaths , EVERY YEAR , year - after - year  ? 

>   Malaria.............................. 10,98,000

>   Cancer...............................   7,32,000

>   HIV..................................     6,83,200

>   Suicide .............................    4,88,000

>   Road Accidents  .................    3,66,000

>   Snake bites  ........................  7,32,000

>   Malnutrition of Children.......... 16,00,000

What about millions of Indians dying  PREMATURE DEATH every year , due to :

>  Water and Air Pollution

>  Dowry ( Bride burning )

>  Child Labour

>  Occupational Hazards ( Chemical / Coal / Cement industries )

>  Miscarriage / Abortions / Pregnancy deaths

>  Smoking / Tobacco chewing

>  Junk Food / Adulterated Food

>  Daru ( liquor ) laced with ethyl alcohol

>  Fake Medicines............................etc

And who are responsible for keeping 28.7 Crores of Indians illiterate ( 37 % of World's illiterate ) , 66 years after independence  ?

Is that because ,

>   " ACTS  OF  OMISSIONS " are taken for granted  ?

>   Deaths due to such Acts are treated as " NATURAL " ( not preventable ) ?

 

>   Politicians don't think talking about these , will get votes  ?

>   Media could not care less ! TRP is all that matters for getting Ad revenue

>   Cursing others is easier than persevering  for the possible  ?
