Whats all the SK brouhaha about?
Over past two days there has been a lot of media focus on the incarceration of Salman Khan over the Chinkara murder case so much so that it even shared frontpage headline space with the coverage on the Meerut fire tragedy. The conviction is a vindication of the efforts of the Bishnoi leaders and othe public vigilantes and a victory and cause for celebration for our civil society (we dont have many of these). But the film industry and some prominent page3 personalities seem to be outraged and feel that celebrities are being unfairly targetted. One of them remarked " I want to know why the man who killed Jessica Lall walked away free? A celebrity is a sitting duck. " Well so do I. I too feel outraged that someone could manipulate our judicial system and get away with murder. But how does that excuse Salman for what he did? If at all there was something perhaps unfair for SK in this whole drama, it was the public trial in media, independent of the one in courtroom. But then, thats the cost a celebrity has to pay. Like every other citizen, SK too can appeal.
