In a recent development in Kerala, the Pinarayi Vijayan-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) Government is facing criticism for their selective justice approach. The government has decided to close all pending cases related to the 2019 anti-CAA agitation, a move that has raised eyebrows among many.
According to a report by Organiser, observers believe that this decision is a strategic move to protect the workers of Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) and alleged sympathizers of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) who were involved in violent protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
On the other hand, the closure of these cases stands in stark contrast to the legal proceedings still facing thousands of devotees who participated in non-violent Sabarimala agitations. These devotees were protesting to protect the faith and rituals of the Sabarimala temple, which came under threat due to the government’s efforts to allow the entry of young women into the shrine.
The disparity in handling these two sets of cases has sparked accusations of the government’s double standards and minority vote bank politics. Critics argue that the closure of CAA agitation cases while Sabarimala cases persist highlights a clear bias in the administration’s approach to justice.
