चोर त चोरै हो, त्यसले चोर्छ। त्यसैले त तेस्को नाम चोर भयो। अब त्यो चोरलाई समातेर कानूनी कारवाही गर्न समाजले विभिन्न निकायहरु खडा गरेको छ, विभिन्न तरीकाहरु तेर्साएको छ। सक्छम् भने सहि ढंगले त्यसलाई कारवाही गरम्, हैन भने चोरको नाममा अरुलाई तर्स्याउने, धमक्याउने, यातना दिने गरियो भने अवश्य पनि पुलिस माथि जनता आईलाग्छन्। जनतालाई चोरबाट रक्षा गर्ने कर्तब्य बोकेर, राज्यबाट तलब थापेर, हिँड्ने पुलिस आफैं चोरि गर्न तिर लाग्यो भने जनता त्यो पुलिसमाथि चोरमाथि भन्दा अझ कस्सेर आईलाग्नु स्वभाविकै हो। The facts: Government is signatory to various international human rights treaties. Maoists are not. Government is accountable to the people. Maoists are not. Government has taken a vow to protect its citizens. Maoists haven?t. Government forces are paid from the legitimate national coffer. Maoists are not. Government is binded by the laws that itself has promulgated. Maoists are not. Despite all this, Government forces have engaged in far more human rights violations than the Maoists have. By some accounts, security forces have committed four times more human rights violations than the Maoists. Therefore, Even though the Maoists have committed atrocities, and they must be condemned and taken action against whenever they happen, the greater onus of doing the right thing obviously should fall on the government forces. If the government forces stoop as low as the Maoists in their quest to "protect the citizens" and become the victimizers themselves when they have vowed to be the protectors, then they obviously would be under greater pressure not to repeat such atrocities. Because the Maoists are illegitimate forces, one can only EXPECT them to comply with humanitarian laws; and since the government is supposedly a legitimate force, they MUST do so. Between EXPECTATION and PEROGATIVE, the latter should obviously be under greater pressure. And when the illegitimate forces do not live up to our expectations, there are proper channels through which to deal with them Punishing the innocents and having blatant disregard to due process of the law are NOT one of them. Such ignorance only aggravates the situation by adding more fuel to Maoist fire.
