The recent deadly attack on SP MP Ramji Lal Suman’s convoy is not just an isolated act of violence; it is a chilling sign of how dangerously law and order are being compromised in Uttar Pradesh. Throwing tyres and stones at an elected representative’s vehicle, causing a serious accident that narrowly avoided being fatal, is nothing short of a criminal conspiracy. The sheer scale of the gathering of so many tyres indicates premeditation, not a spontaneous outburst.
This grave incident also points towards either an alarming intelligence failure or, even worse, a case of deliberate negligence. How could such a large collection of tyres, prepared for an attack, escape the eyes of the local authorities? If the government and administration are pretending to be ignorant, they must understand: anarchy, once unleashed, does not differentiate between its targets. The violent forces they ignore today may turn against them tomorrow.
If the attack on Ramji Lal Suman goes unnoticed, unaddressed simply because he is a ‘PDA MP,’ then it is not just a lapse, it is an unforgivable betrayal of democracy itself. The government’s silence will only embolden such lawless elements. It is shameful if action is being measured by political affiliation rather than the severity of the crime.
The big question is, where is the infamous ‘bulldozer justice’ now? Has it lost its power when it comes to attacks on opposition leaders? Or has the UP government surrendered to these anarchic forces? Worse still, is this chaos being encouraged under some silent, sinister consent?
The Kshatriya Karni Sena has openly claimed responsibility for the attack. Okendra Rana’s statements afterward only add insult to injury. It is shocking that even after such an admission, no strict action seems to have been taken. Is the rule of law in Uttar Pradesh selective? Are bulldozers reserved only for targeting the weak and the voiceless, while mobs attacking MPs are treated with kid gloves?
PDA’s slogan “We don’t want BJP” today echoes with more anger and pain. This is not merely a political battle anymore; it is about safeguarding the soul of our democracy. If the government continues to maintain a shameful silence, it will soon realize that the fire of lawlessness spares no one. This attack must not be allowed to be forgotten. It demands immediate and fearless action.
