Four elderly Khmer Rouge officials have gone on trial in Cambodia for crimes committed during their rule. It is hard to imagine millions of people enslaved, tortured and murdered on the orders of one man, Pol Pot or Brother number 1, as he was known. Seems that there is a large number of people in any population of human beings with hidden bestiality ready to commit unimaginable crimes given the right circumstances and encouragement. Thus the Cultural Revolution of China on the orders of Mao, the Nazi holocaust on the orders of Hitler and the killings in Soviet Russia on the orders of Stalin. On the night of June 23, Amit Yogi, son of a Congress leader, was travelling by car in Jabalpur in MP when he was attacked by men armed with iron rods and beaten so badly that he has lost sight in one eye. His car was torched. TOI, June 26. On June 24, the niece of a journalist, who refused to suppress a report of a gang of sandalwood smugglers, was kidnapped and raped repeatedly by gang members. They mistook the young woman for the daughter of the journalist. The present government in UP came to power in 2007 with absolute majority and the Chief Minister is Ms Mayawati who campaigned on law and order. Her party, the BSP, had 131 candidates with criminal cases filed against them of which 63 won. Of these 33 had multiple charges against them, 6 had been charged of murder, rape, rioting, kidnapping and robbery. Three are listed as gangsters by the police. These scum were deliberately chosen as candidates. Every political gang in India puts up criminals as candidates because they can win by force. The killing fields of India are ready.
