BRUTALITY DISGUISED AS PUBLIC SAFETY — THE MISGOVERNANCE OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

Mr David Marge Lombi is a freelance journalist from the Northeastern State “Arunachal Pradesh”. At present, he is also pursuing B.A.LL.B (Hons.) at “North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong”. Spirited & catalyst by nature, he is one fierce voice who doesn’t sustain even near the mighty odds. While he advocates justice for the voiceless, his spirit holds that advocacy for “Civil Liberty” with a good taste of justice enables a “Humane State.” He is confident in his ability to produce.

“One is classified as essential and the other not. VIP’s movements and election rallies are treated as immune to the virus and the necessitated movements of the public not. They just don’t know that something declared as non-essential and made shut was the only essential for someone to ever sustain himself. Just remember, whom we voted for!”

This global pandemic has magnified all the inequalities in our society. Inequalities are felt in areas from healthcare to technology, from ethnicity to income. Inequalities are evident in access to essential services by the minority group and majority group, by people with disabilities and able-bodied people. Surprisingly, even after this magnification, all that our government does is only to increase that class gap even further.

COMPLETE & LENGTHY LOCKDOWN IS A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD.

Read moreEXTRA JUDICIAL KILLINGS: A DOWNFALL OF JUSTICE?

India is one of the third world countries, where still today huge sections of people have to put their feet on the pedal and their hands on the wheel to earn their everyday livelihood. While it’s dusk people leave their homes, and return while it’s dawn. Now when we look at India and several more third world countries, a complete and lengthy lockdown shouldn’t even be the least choice. 

Our government to whom we pay taxes, who are the representatives of our choices, and the judiciary who we trust and have faith in, must know that complete and lengthy lockdown is a double-edged sword. While it may be intended to kill the transmission of the virus, it does also kill humans by transmitting poverty and hunger amidst them.

Sadly in India, we see that the “brutality” of the misgovernance is killing humans, more than and before the “Covid-19 attack”. The corrupt and inept Govt. had turned India upside down.

REPRESENTATIVE SUPERSEDING THE REPRESENTEE’S CHOICE.

Read moreREFUGEE: AN UNRESOLVED QUEST OF HUMAN SURVIVAL

Let me remind the government and the judiciary that cornering human rights and liberties in the guise of public safety is never welcomed.

Experts of science and math may deliver their indisputable verdicts of what this disease is and what can be done to curb it. The Government of India may hold a bona fide intent of not letting go of its people through the worst circumstances. But at the same time, these experts and governments must also delve into the lives of ordinary people to come up with ideas that resonate with the everyday grievances of ordinary people. While the experts and governments quest for public safety, they must also learn of the human rights and liberties that their public quest for amidst this global crisis.

This global pandemic has proven that the virus is a creature that travels through crevices, over skies, waterways, and porous borders. Unlike humans, this creature doesn’t discriminate between expert and layman, government and citizen, monarch and slave.

TO BREACH THE GOVERNANCE IS NOT AN INTEREST.

Citizens neither negate the science behind Covid-19 nor do they seek to breach the governance. Citizens are ever ready to live their everyday lives with a blend of governing protocols. But before that, the only condition that citizens require from the government is that the protocols must be introduced and not brutally imposed. The protocols must be intended to govern and not merely dictate. The crux that the citizens believe in is the “Welfare State” and not the “Police State”.

Yes, the global pandemic is a matter of concern, but it doesn’t require instant solutions like complete and lengthy lockdowns that are advocated by the rich and privileged, and then imposed by the bewildered government. It doesn’t require the police and the other controlling authorities to thrash citizens with batons. It doesn’t require the mighty to vandalize the properties of the people whose livelihood are already at stake.

Turning India into a “Police State” to regulate the crowd shall be seen as nothing but a legacy of British colonial rule.

THE CORRUPT & INEPT GOVERNMENT FAILED US ALL.

On 20 January 2021, Narendra Modi led Government launched a programme “Vaccine Maitri” to export the two Indian made shots — Covishield and Covaxin — to the world. Data published by the Ministry of External Affairs provides that approximately 6.6 crore doses of vaccines that were made in India have reached a total of 95 foreign entities.[1]

India must be surprised that according to the government’s submission made on 16 March 2021, before the Parliament (Junior health minister Ashwini Kumar Choubey submitted in the Rajya Sabha), the number of doses sent out of the country was much higher than the number of doses administered within the country as of mid-March.

Today India needs a Prime Minister that shall stay loyal to first administer vaccines to its citizens rather than choosing to boost his global image by sending excess doses out to the foreign entities. India needs non-hypocritical governance, in which spending thousands of crores to build a statue in Gujarat — the home of PM Narendra Modi — shall not be prioritized over spending few crores on health care facilities which is the right of every citizen. 

This global pandemic has magnified all the inequalities in our society. Inequalities are felt in areas from healthcare to technology, from ethnicity to income. Inequalities are evident in access to essential services by the minority group and majority group, by people with disabilities and able-bodied people. Surprisingly, even after this magnification, all that our government does is only to increase that class gap even further.
