Time To Nail The CONgress

The CONgress is getting screwed over Bhopal. They are party of corruption and injustice. The illustration accompanying this post, from Mint, tells it all: The CONgress has killed Justice - and is proceeding to bury her, if they are allowed to pass the Nuclear Civil Liability Bill. It seems the Opposition BJP is already calling for the withdrawal of this horrible Bill. After Bhopal, our usually inert masses seem to have woken up to the fact that a nuclear disaster could be 10 times worse, and this CONgress sponsored Bill only seeks to indemnify US nuclear suppliers. I had called for killing this Bill when it was about to be introduced in Parliament.

There are two editorials from Mint that I recommend, both advocating tort laws: first, on the Nuclear Civil Liability Bill; and second, on tort taw and Bhopal. Both are pertinent. Mint must be commended for these learned views, for it is the only mainstream daily that is calling for a comprehensive tort law system as a solution to all further issues relating to damages on account of negligence. What do I have to add to their viewpoint?

First: Tort laws are CIVIL laws. They are settled in CIVIL courts. Thus, they do not require our corrupt CRIMINAL justice system at all. This is a huge benefit. Thus, for any damages resulting from negligence, compensation can be claimed WITHOUT the fucked up police having to step in.

Second: Tort cases are therefore NOT decided on the basis of "beyond reasonable doubt": the judicial requirement for criminal cases. They are decided on the basis of the "preponderance of evidence," and this means cases are decided quickly.

What does this mean for nuclear disasters?

Or hooch tragedies?

Or building collapses?

Or fake medicines?

Think about it.

And screw the CONgress before they screw you.
