If it were Devayani Kobragade in the U.S a few weeks ago, now they are the ladies from Kenya in Delhi, who have suffered the indignity of cavity search. If DK was searched while in police custody following orders from the U.S law and order, (the context of which India is heavily questioning at the levels of humanity and diplomatic immunity) in Delhi it was done in some hospital under the AAP ministry, bungling appropriate law and order procedures. 

There is apparently a raw clash brewing up in Delhi reportedly between its fledgling Am Admi Party government and the Delhi police, over matters of law and order. 



These are the words of the Delhi AAP Minister Manish Sisodia  ''There are rapes happening in the city, sex and drug rackets are being run openly, but police are doing nothing'.

Law Minister Somnath Bharti complains,'Police did not cooperate with him about conducting a raid on Nigerian nationals whom he alleged were involved in drugs and sex racket at Khirki village'.

Nobody needs to exaggerate about Delhis' rape profile, on December 16, 2012 five sick Delhi men had shocked the world by raping a young student using an iron rod.  All four men, the fifth one was saved being a juvenile on technical reasons were given death sentence. It seems even death sentence cannot deter the hardened Delhi rapists.  On the night of January 14, this year, a Danish women, 51 was gang raped and looted at gun-point allegedly by eight  Delhi men.   

So the AAP ministers do have a point. But can they allow the disharmony between them and the Police Department to spill over to the public, local and international. A bugled order is no order.

If the police were not cooperating, then the AAP government would have waited for taking action against the alleged suspects till they had sorted out the differences.


Instead, it resorted to jumbled procedures to apprehend the African ladies from Nigeria or Kenya and are facing criticism. There is urgency from the AAP government to deliver on the promises it made to its constituency and the people of India and the world over are watching how do they do it. 

In that light, what its minister has allegedly done to the ladies is no less barbaric than what the US did on Devayani Kobhragade.

My point is as long as the police couldn't follow the right law and order procedures, their action smacks of disgust.
If Delhi is facing a drug problem, it has to be addressed, and whoever are involved in drug dealings, nationals or foreigners, need to be apprehended and brought to book. But that is no any excuse for the party men harassing the people traveling along the road; according to reports from the women, ''.... some men surrounded their car and did not let them get out. They were then forcibly taken to the hospital for a medical examination, they claimed'' 

The women have reportedly said,''There are many Indian people living in Africa but we never ill-treat them the way they have treated us. Some of the men told us that we are blacks and so we indulge in illegal activities...'' 

So it has touched the Indians living in Africa. I can vouch for what they said on the basis of my stay in South Africa. I have hopes in AAP, that, first it would move away from the discriminative racial attitudes of the BJP and the Congress. Mr. Kejariwal, people from all races are involved in drug trafficking and other kinds of illegal activities. If you cannot do something about this typical Indian attitude that some among them are upper class by birth and they are perfect, then, you are no different from your predecessor leaders. And what change are you planning to bring forthe on this attitude.
