“Justice
consists not in being neutral between right and wrong, but in finding out the
right and upholding it, wherever found, against the wrong.”
--Theodore Roosevelt
Life for me remained not the same after my father was sent to the
jail. Struggle since then has never come to an end. There were dark days
looming around us and so did hopes that one day there will be someone or few to
understand a family without a father, understand a man of principles who stood
for the nation and by the nation. There might be some chances that one quarter
of the masses got aware of my father, Hari Singh’s immense
sacrifice for his country but, there was a need to spread awareness to a large
number of crowds as well.
This great need was pronounced in the name of a peace march
at Jantar Mantar on Sunday, January 19, 2014. It was a
day of strong light of probability and anticipation and it was increased when
supporters of my father flocked in abundant at Jantar Mantar. They
expressed empathy by sharing their own viewpoint about my father’s unusual
stand for a country when it was a threat to corruption and other vice. Faith in
us has made things possible but it has not been so easy to come this far.
Standing on a stage with placards, I delivered speeches on my father and
requested the government to hear our plea and commute his life sentence.
Justice is always for the right and is the search for Justice a wrong thing?
With grief as well as hope, our bitter sorrows at once were heard by various
media persons. I was happy when other fellow people were also asking about us
and the motive of the protest. 21 years back it was an urge of a man to
safeguard the motherland and after 21 years it is time to give justice to the
son of the soil. It is a request from a son to AAP CM, Arvind Kejriwal
who always upholds the right. 21 years is too much to make a person away from
his family and this time a common man like Hari Singh will ought to get Justice
and must come back to an orphan family living without a father.
