Strauss-Kahn lawyers hold meeting with prosecution

Having a Constitution, Law & Judiciary or an Administration with elected representatives at the national or international level is no guarantee that your safety, security and dignity would be vouched. But how does it look like when the victim of allegation happens to be a foreign national, getting caught up with the ignominious scourge of an undeserved legal process, having to rub shoulders with law which apparently is berserk and trounces the victim to depths of a nightmarish house arrest, because the allegation was flung by a female whose bonafides the law has not taken care to verify? Here one definitely needs to take a closer look at the trustworthiness of Law and Judiciary of that particular country!

Unfortunately, we live in a world of unscrupulous and miscreant elements, who through sheer grit and determination, manage to manipulate or exploit circumstances and laws to suit their convenience and come out unscathed despite being on the wrong side of law. Incidentally, many of the laws that have been hastily framed to gratify the electorate or the masses, or even to buy time, invariably favor those very miscreants who habitually defy law or utilize it for their own benefit.

Whatever the logic one may adduce, failure to uphold man’s dignity or to ensure security of individuals would amount to gross failure on the part of law and judiciary or the administration, which directly reflect on the effectiveness and foolproof aspect of Law, the Administration and Constitutional set up of that particular country.

In the present instance, a low graded intruder maid flings a calculated allegation of sexual assault on a high profile dignitary namely Dominic Strauss Kahn, who was rightfully within his suit premises by virtue of his dignity and capacity and was made a victim to lose his job, dignity, aspirations and a world of renown. By no stretch of imagination could an elderly gentleman of such high caliber ever have made undue advance towards a servant of meager reputation without being enticed by the maid to take advantage of a moment of solitude.

But even without necessary enquiry or deterrents, the Law & Judiciary swung in to action provoking a volley of accusations against an unsuspecting person, read Dominic Strauss Kahn, who certainly was not only innocent but betrayed by the maid for personal gains.

Had it not been for the support of people who worked day in and day out to unfold the actual worth and character of the maid, this high profile person who would have been contesting for the top slot in France, would have been languishing under house arrest with the media and public focusing their ire and calumny against him for acts that he might not have even committed.

Does this augur well for Law and Judiciary – that too in a Nation which calls itself a Super Power? Or is it a case of taking undue advantage by the same Super Power merely because the person – a victim of allegation – hailed from a country away from his motherland? A big poser for the Super Power! For a brief period we may not rake up the treachery, if any, by his own political adversaries back at home – just a poser and a pause for now!
